machine room
Where engines live
A machine room is a dedicated space housing mechanical, electrical, or computing equipment.
In buildings, it typically contains elevators, HVAC systems, or electrical infrastructure.
In data centers, it's where servers and networking equipment operate: The noise in the machine room was deafening.
Access is usually restricted to authorized personnel.
