prep room
Pre-procedure scrub space
A prep room is a space where things are prepared before their main use or destination.
In hospitals and funeral homes, it's where bodies are readied—for surgery or for viewing.
In schools, it's where teachers prepare materials or where students work before lab sessions.
In restaurants, it's the kitchen area for ingredient preparation: The line cooks were backed up because prep room was running behind.
