prayer rooms

Quiet devotion areas

Prayer rooms are designated spaces for private religious devotion, typically found in airports, hospitals, universities, and workplaces.

They're usually nondenominational, intended to accommodate people of various faiths: The airport has a prayer room near Gate 12.

In Islamic contexts, a prayer room may specifically provide space for the five daily prayers, sometimes with ablution facilities nearby.
