meeting halls

Spaces for gatherings

Meeting halls are rooms or buildings where groups gather for organized purposes—civic assemblies, religious services, union meetings, community events.

The term emphasizes the space's function over its architecture: a grand Victorian building and a rented basement room can both serve as meeting halls.

The town's meeting hall needed a new roof.
