Chinese term or phrase: 交誼廳
設備良好的餐廳、休息室與交誼廳,讓員工在工作之餘放鬆身心,連絡感情。
The dictionary says that it is salon. But salon is too flamboyant for a workplace. Any better suggestions? Please do not give me lounge, for lounge is already used up for 休息室.

Both community room and activity room work. But I award the points to Will because "community" is more general than "activity". And as the purpose of the 交誼廳 is not known, "community" is a safer choice.
