data center
"Datahall" refers to a facility used to house computers; usually this means either large computers or a large *number* of smaller computers. "Data center" is the usual U.S. term. I don't know whether "data centre" is the usual U.K. term or not.

Madeleine MacRae Klintebo
: Why do you assume it relates to a school? Whe we lived in Sweden, the name for the "computer room" (the room full of computers) at my son's school was "datorrum".
