factory building / industrial building

This is often a tricky word to translate, because there are many English possibilities. But I think it cannot be translated as 'hall' in English - that is primarily a domestic room inm a house.

Other options might be plant, works, industrial premises.

neutral E2efour (X) : Industrial hall possibly, but what could "indusrial hall building" mean?

OK, so what is the correct name for this type of building? NB. the building type itself, not its particular use. It isn't as if it's an uncommon type, either here or in the UK or the US.
