room capacity

Maximum allowed people

Room capacity is the maximum number of people a space can legally or safely hold.

Fire codes set room capacity based on square footage, exits, and occupancy type: The room capacity is 200 persons.

The term also applies to seating limits in venues: We're at room capacity—no one else can enter.
