assembly hall
Large gathering space
A large room designed to accommodate gatherings of people—for meetings, performances, lectures, or ceremonies.
Schools have assembly halls where students convene; religious communities gather in assembly halls for worship.
The term emphasizes the room's function of bringing people together: The entire faculty met in the assembly hall.
