supply closet

Office materials room

A supply closet is a small storage room, typically in an office, school, or other institutional building, where everyday materials are kept—paper, pens, cleaning products, lightbulbs.

The term often carries connotations of cramped, unglamorous space: They found an empty supply closet for the meeting.

In workplace humor and fiction, supply closets are stereotypical locations for secret trysts.
