Per Bergvall Apr 2, 2005:
No such Norwegian word, as it makes no sense. Lompe is a tortilla-like pancake made of potato flour, so this would be 'tortilla room(s) and toilets for installers'. Lamperom, bomberom, lagerrom are among the alternatives, but lomperom is definitely not.

break room (lunch room)

My suggestion. Usually in construction, there is a place set aside for workers to take a break and relax, eat, and of course the area with toilet.
