coolroom
Refrigerated walk-in space
A coolroom is a refrigerated storage space, typically a walk-in chamber kept at low temperatures for preserving perishable goods.
Common in restaurants, florists, and warehouses: The chef stores the meat in the coolroom overnight.
The term is especially prevalent in Australian and New Zealand English, where Americans might say walk-in cooler or cold room.
