maintenance room

Building repair headquarters

A maintenance room is a space in a building dedicated to housing mechanical equipment, cleaning supplies, or tools needed for upkeep.

In apartment complexes, offices, and hotels, it's where custodial staff store mops, vacuums, and repair materials.

Larger buildings have maintenance rooms containing HVAC systems, water heaters, or electrical panels: The superintendent keeps spare parts in the maintenance room.
