General Session — Lone Star Ballroom

JW Marriott Austin · Lone Star Ballroom · 204′ × 113′, 18′ ceiling
Why it is laid out this way
- Two 8′ longitudinal aisles and a 9′ cross aisle at the half — the geometry that makes the room's own nineteen doors reachable from every seat.
- Accessible spaces sit on the cross aisle, the shortest route to the side doors, rather than being added at the back where the sightline is worst.
- Same room as the gala in this gallery, seating 706 more people and looking nothing like it.
What the plan measures
The room it is drawn in
The event space is surveyed once and every diagram of it inherits this. It is why the plan above can be checked at all.
Enclosed room. Floor: carpet. Walls: wallcovering.
Where this room came from
Lone Star Ballroom at JW Marriott Austin is a real event space. Its geometry here is reconstructed from the hotel's published Level 3 floor plan, and checked against the hotel's own published capacity chart — the partition tracks measured off the drawing fall at 51′ and 38′, and the chart sells Salon A, B and C as 51′ × 38′.
What the published drawing does not state, and we therefore assumed: the floor and wall finishes, which the plan does not state. It is listed rather than quietly filled in, because a measurement nobody took is not a measurement.
