common room
Dormitory gathering space
A common room is a shared space in a residence hall, school, or workplace where people gather informally—for relaxing, socializing, or taking breaks between activities.
British universities and boarding schools use the term for faculty lounges: the senior common room.
In fiction, Hogwarts houses each have their common room where students congregate.
