The best way to think about prospect refuge is a space/spot where you can see several different views, preferably nothing/ no one can come from behind. 

  • EX: Booth connor seat
  • EX: Church sets 
  • EX: Benches 

Those three examples are the spot where you have at least three different views or more, and people tend to feel very comfortable in them.

One example I feel most comfortable in is in the spot in the classroom with the wall to my back, not the seats in the middle but the seats at the end of the rows. You can see just about every view and you can leave whenever needed without interpreting anything.
