Because every dwarf will gather at the meeting hall every so often, it is an ideal place to site objects that give them happy thoughts.  Interesting animals in cages perhaps designated as a [[zoo]], a waterfall with [[mist]], and high-quality [[statues]] and other objects can each improve the quality of life in your fortress.  A meeting hall placed in a place with sunshine will ensure that dwarves do not become [[cave adaptation|cave adapted]].

The Meeting Hall, also known as the Great Hall, is among the most vital parts of any fortress. It is a designation like a Meeting Area where idle dwarves gather, parties are held (until a statue garden is built), and stray domestic animals congregate. It is a good idea to site this heavily-trafficked area someplace both safe and convenient to get to.

You may also have a dining room double as a meeting hall; type q -> h on any dining room table.
