Italian term or phrase: aule per lezioni ex cathedra
Hi again
I have a list of university rooms here. I know "ex cathedra" could remain unchanged, but surely that's not what they're called in English...
TIA

Thanks as usual for your invaluable input.
I have come to the conclusion that the meaning is just that the classroom is a standard type of layout with the tutor lecturning students from a desk at the front, presumably rather than the theatre type arrangement in a seminar space. Since "ex cathedra" as Don explains has such a specific meaning when the Latin appears in English, I prefer to avoid it and go with Paola's / Sarah's lecture rooms / classrooms approach.

Extension classrooms


Explanation:
???? I'm not sure what is meant by "ex cathedra" but the two possibilities I can think of are

Extension Programs (offered to the community)

Continuing Education Programs (I teach in the NYU COntinuing Ed Program) - often the courses are career-oriented or self-improvement-oriented

ex cathedra lecture halls


Explanation:
an "aula" in a university is a lecture hall.
ex cathedra (latin) refers to lectures/lessons given by the professor who has the chair in the university, in other words, with the authority of his position. The Pope speaks ex cathedra of church dogma.
I would not translate it.
see the web site below which gives the meaning as from the chair, i.e. with authority.

Explanation:
Caro Derek,

Secondo me le due risposte suggerite vanno bene.
Inoltre, nel Regno Unito, "ex cathdera" è usato abbastanza di frequente ed il secondo suggerimento è accettabilissimo.
Se poi vai su:

e cerchi:

ex cathdedra + lecture,

vedrai che troverai numerosi riscontri
