observation room
Watching area enclosed
An observation room is a space designed for watching activities in an adjacent area, typically through one-way glass or mirrors.
In police work, detectives observe interrogations from an observation room without being seen by suspects.
Hospitals use them for monitoring patients, and research facilities for studying behavior: The psychologists watched from the observation room as children played.
