Venue Layout
The Avanti’s Dome is a 76,000 square foot climate-controlled inflated dome sports and event facility. It
has an entry building that houses restrooms, a concession stand, offices, and a 3,000 square foot
banquet room (which will be in use by FIRST event coordinators). The dome itself is accessed through a
revolving door airlock system. It is also accessible through a second airlock with regular doors.
Free parking is available in the front lot, as well as in a small back lot. The back lot gives access to a
second walk-in airlock and a 15’ x 40’ airlock. Dome staff will be on-hand to operate the rear airlocks as
teams unload and load. The rear airlocks are for team use only, not general public access.
The floor of the Dome consists primarily of Astroturf with black rubber infill. The infill gives the floor a
somewhat cushy feel compared to concrete. When information is available, we will update this
document with what flooring will be in the pit area.
The Dome is lit by banks of lights around the perimeter that shine onto the Kevlar Dome surface and
reflect the light.

Food and Drink at the Dome
The Avanti’s Dome concession stand has a wide variety of reasonably priced food, but only one window
and a small foyer area. To help stay within the FIRST schedule each day, the option to streamline the
lunch process through preordered box lunches will be available to teams. These lunches will be
delivered inside the Dome where a mentor can pick them up and distribute them to the team to eat.
The box lunch order form for teams will be available on the official website for the Regional:
http://www.ilfirst.org/frc/events/central-illinois-regional/.
Large coolers of water and cups will be provided within the Dome area at no charge.

Venue Tips and Suggestions
•
Allow extra time each day to access the Dome. Encourage your team to be orderly and patient
when forming lines to enter and exit through the revolving door or airlock.
•
Allow sufficient time for load-in. Dome personnel will be on-hand to operate the airlock at the
rear. It takes anywhere from 10-30 seconds or so to repressurize the airlock each time the doors
are opened.
•
Watch for updates to this document as details for this event get firmed up.

Safety - Emergency Planning
Think ahead, make a plan!
Planning for travel safety has become a priority for FIRST Team 1736, Robot Casserole and we’d like to
share our plan for the Central Illinois Regional with you so you can plan for safety, too!
At the Avanti’s Dome
Tornado
Dome staff actively monitor the weather throughout all events and will notify FIRST staff if there is an
active tornado warning. In the event of a tornado, the safest place is the inside of the Dome. It is rated
for up to an EF 4 tornado.
Tip for making your plan: Every team should have one or two mentors who have a complete list of every
student and mentor at the event. Use this list to account for all of your team members during
emergencies.
Fire/Evacuation
The Dome is constructed of materials that are inherently flame-resistant, so the likelihood of a fire that
would cause a full evacuation is very low.
In the event of fire, the most important thing you can do is remain calm and quiet so you can hear any
announcements that are made. Fire extinguishers are located on every light pole around the Dome and
will be used to extinguish the fire.
Dome staff will determine if the building must be evacuated and it will be announced over the PA
system. At that point, form orderly lines in front of the emergency exits and leave the building as
quickly as is safely possible. If the emergency exits are opened, it is imperative that you exit the Dome
with everyone else. The emergency doors open directly to the outside and will cause the Dome to
deflate in a very short amount of time.
Again, the most important thing you can do is remain calm and quiet so you can hear any
announcements that are made. Do not use the emergency exits unless instructed to do so by Dome
staff.
Tip for making your plan: Another component of your evacuation plan should include designating a
meeting place outside the Dome for your team, and equipping one or two mentors with a complete list
of every student and mentor at the event so everyone can be accounted for.
Make sure you have reviewed your plans thoroughly with your team!

At the Hotel
Think ahead, make a plan.
At the Wisconsin Regional in 2012, the fire alarm sounded in the middle of the night in the hotel where
FIRST Team 1736 was staying. A lot of lessons were learned that night when we realized that (a) we
didn’t know if all of our team members were evacuated or were still in their rooms, and (b) if they
evacuated, we didn’t know where they all were or if they were with a mentor. Team members were
unsure of where to go and what to do. Since that time, we make proactive plans for evacuations and
tornados and hope we never have to use them.
We encourage each team to create their own Team Travel Emergency Procedures and invite you to use
our documents as your starting place.
Tips for creating your plan:
Contact the hotel where you will be staying to get answers to questions. You may need to speak to
someone in security or to the manager. Be persistent if at first you don’t succeed in finding the person
who has the answers for you. Explain that you are making emergency plans for your team and most
hotels will be most cooperative.
• In the event of a fire, is there an alarm that sounds?
o Where are they? hallways? stairwells? lobby areas? each individual room?
o What do they sound like?
o If there is no alarm in the rooms, does the hotel call rooms to tell guests to evacuate?
• Do the rooms have windows that open in the event that the hallway is obstructed?
• Do you have a drawing of the hotel layout that you can send us? (Not totally necessary, but very
helpful if you can get one.)
• Do you have a tornado warning or PA that announces an impending tornado? If not, how are
guests notified of a tornado?
• Where is the safest place to gather in the event of a tornado?
o If in a lower hallway, ask for the room number sequence in that hallway so you can
direct your students where to gather in that hallway, if possible.
Using an online map resource, you can obtain an aerial view of the hotel where you are staying and map
out a meeting place in the event of an evacuation. We drew arrows all over ours so students would
know where the exits are and which way to go to get to the meeting place.
Designate one or more mentors to keep a list of
student and mentor names and associated
room numbers.
Establish a plan to determine whether students
are still in their rooms or have evacuated. We
use hang tags that say “evacuated” on the front
and list the students on the back. A very sticky
Post-It note would work, too.
Be sure to review your plan thoroughly with the
team members so everyone know what to do!
