meeting hall
Gathering space indoors
A meeting hall is a large room or building designed to accommodate groups gathering for a shared purpose—lectures, worship, community events, or organizational business.
The term emphasizes function over formality: The union rented a meeting hall for the vote.
Town halls, Quaker meetinghouses, and rented event spaces all qualify.
