The Lecture Hall is a combat training room built into Number Nine and Sandor's penthouse in the John Hancock Center.
Every surface of the room is tiled with white retractable panels which discharge rounds of projectiles including steel ball bearings and electronic drones from all sides. The combat is mainly controlled by Sandor from a cockpit, called the Lectern, with chair and control panel with blinking buttons and gauges, it also has automated training programs.
When Nine proves that he is ready to start training, Sandor introduces him to the lecture hall where they train for many hours, sometimes just to let off some steam. On one particular training session, Nine discovers his Antigravity Legacy. Sandor remarks that he has received an "upgrade" to which Nine, infuriated for being treated like one of Sandor's gadgets, destroys the Lectern's console using his Pipe-Staff. (Nine's Legacy)
