用法筆記
This sense covers both the physical room and its function: you can refer to the space itself (e.g. 'a dining hall with high ceilings') or the meal-service operation running inside it (e.g. 'the dining hall serves breakfast from seven'). The same dining hall can be described either way — there is no separate sense for meal service. Attributive nouns or possessive adjectives typically identify the institution (school dining hall, college dining hall, hospital dining hall).
