Takatsuki Junior and Senior High School creates a large number of opportunities for students to hold presentations, and The Cornucopia Hall was built and completed in 2018 as a space where the results of research projects can be presented.
When planning the Hall seating options which would help foster interactive communication were explored. As a result, the distance between the presenter and the furthest row of seating is quite close, and the seats wrap in a round shape so that all members of the audience can face the presented straight on. Seats in front of or behind each other are offset by half a seat to allow for visibility. Seating was also placed in tiers, not only for the listeners, but also to allow the presenter to experience both the nervousness and the excitement of talking to an audience.
Each leg of the chairs stands individually, which prevents movement from being transferred to other seats to the right or left, or in front or behind, which helps viewers sit comfortably. The seats in the front 4 rows employ the same design as those in the fifth row onward, only they are movable in design. The rolling wheels allow for rearrangement, but the front two wheels were removed to provide additional stability.
