waiting areas
Rooms for lingering
Waiting areas are spaces designed for people to sit or stand while expecting something—an appointment, a flight, their turn in a queue.
They appear in airports, hospitals, offices, and government buildings, typically furnished with rows of chairs, sometimes with magazines or televisions.
The waiting area was packed with anxious travelers.
