So drilling down in the IBC and referenced ICC A117.1, in assembly seating wheelchair spaces are required to be dispersed, including at varying distances from the event. Some exceptions and special conditions but assume none apply here: in a typical 750 seat new high school auditorium with stage, would you note or cite as non compliant all eight wheel chair spaces being in one row near the middle? Not is it a violation, but would an average building official/ahj catch it?
(I'm fanatical about this in my work, spreading the spaces around, insuring grandpa and sit with family on both sides and all around. I drove my architect clients a little crazy pushing for accessibility, and trying to make it truly "equal" and not discriminate. But what I see too often is meager accomodation that looks like an after thought.)
