lecture theatre
Tiered classroom space
A lecture theatre is a large room with tiered seating designed for academic presentations to sizable audiences.
The arrangement allows students to see and hear the lecturer clearly from any seat.
Common in universities and colleges, the term is primarily British; Americans typically say lecture hall.
The introductory chemistry course meets in the main lecture theatre.
