kokoushuone

Kokoushuone is a Finnish term meaning "meeting room." It denotes a room designated for meetings, discussions, or presentations, typically located in offices, corporate buildings, hotels, schools, and public institutions. In Finnish, the term is commonly used alongside kokoustila (conference room) and neuvotteluhuone (negotiation room).

A kokoushuone is furnished with a table and chairs and arranged according to purpose. Common layouts include boardroom, U-shape, classroom, and theater styles. Equipment may include a whiteboard or flip chart, a projector or screen, videoconferencing and audio systems, Wi-Fi, and adequate lighting and climate control.

Capacity varies by room size, from small spaces for a few people to larger rooms for twenty or more. The design prioritizes good acoustics, visibility, and accessibility from nearby offices or corridors.

Rooms are usually reserved through office calendars, facility management, or coworking platforms. Access may be restricted to employees, clients, or guests, with security checks and clear signage in larger venues.

Accessibility and safety considerations include compliance with applicable accessibility standards and safety regulations, accessible entrances, emergency exits, and routine cleaning.

Related terms and variations include kokoustila and neuvotteluhuone, which are sometimes used interchangeably with kokoushuone in everyday Finnish, though nuances exist between formal conferences and smaller meetings.
