The term 'Reception Area' is used to refer to a space in a building where visitors are welcomed and directed. This area typically includes a PARLOR, HALL, ANTEROOM, LOBBY, and outeroffice. A PARLOR is a room for entertaining guests, a HALL is a corridor or passageway, an ANTEROOM is a small room leading to a larger one, a LOBBY is an entrance HALL or vestibule, and an outeroffice is a room located outside the main office. Together, these spaces form the reception area, which serves as the first point of contact for visitors.
