French term or phrase: salle conventionnelle
The context describes different rooms within a hospital, i.e. operating rooms, recovery rooms, urology rooms, lithotripsy rooms etc.
Is this simply "conventional room"?
Or is there a more technical term?
Target language is US English..
Many thanks as always :-)

conventional (operating) room
Explanation:
I think that "salle conventionnelle" is the short way of saying a room with conventional ventilation (as opposed to more sophisticated forms of ventilation), usually an operating room.
I have seen "conventional operating room" on the net.

Explanation:
There is always at least 1 room on each ward for meetings.....
