Roman Building name
#1
We are building a, well, building at my church for our youth group and I wanted a "cool" roman name for it. It will have ball courts and worship center and sunday school rooms. It doesnt have to be a perfect match just a cool name for a youth building. Ive always found roman names neat so thats why im posting here.

The Romans would have found the combination of study and sports perfectly natural, and would have combined this with baths. Of course 'balnei' to moderns means baths, without the rest, so how aboput (as was suggested) GYMNASIUM or PALAESTRA (the place in the baths set aside for sports, but also a place where you could read or rest)?

Or if it's intended as a place for young people to gather: COLLEGIUM IUVENUM?
