dining facilities
Places serving meals
Dining facilities is institutional or military jargon for places where meals are served—cafeterias, mess halls, food courts.
The phrase appears in official documents, building directories, and signage where "cafeteria" or "restaurant" would sound too casual: The dining facilities are located on the third floor.
It treats eating spaces as infrastructure rather than hospitality.
