[wär room]

Definition

This is the room attached to the main lounge of the ground floor of Chapin. It contains the books of the Chapin Library, the Chapin computers and printer and lots of communal study space. Functionally, Chapinos use this room to study and socialize (but mostly socialize). It is also the site of the weekly Chexec meeting. This space can additionally be reserved by Chapinos for specific events.

Example Sentence

Everyone will meet in the War Room at 8 PM.

I think I saw that book in the War Room.

Etymology

The name the War Room most likely comes from the long table down the center of the room, which is reminiscient of the conventional long meeting table shown in movies or tv shows that include a council meeting. The lighting was also vaguely similar to an interrogation room at one point, which helped add credibility to the serious tribunal feeling.
