bunkhouses
Workers' shared quarters
Bunkhouses are buildings with simple sleeping quarters, typically rows of beds or bunks, used to house workers or groups.
The term evokes ranch hands, logging camps, or summer camps—places where people sleep communally in basic accommodations: The ranch hands returned to the bunkhouse after dinner.
