auditoria
Large assembly spaces
Auditoria is a plural of auditorium, the large room or hall in a building designed for an audience to gather and watch performances, lectures, or presentations.
While auditoriums is the more common plural in American English, auditoria reflects the Latin origin and appears in more formal or British contexts.
The university's three auditoria were booked solid during graduation week.
