What is the sports hall in schools called in English?
I've translated from my language and the translation is "sport venue", but the according to the picture on Wikipedia I suspect that it is not what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for the name of the sports hall in schools, such as in the following picture:

That would be an (indoor) "gym" or "gymnasium".

From Wikipedia:

A gym, short for gymnasium, is an open air or covered location for gymnastics, athletics, and gymnastic services. The word is derived from the ancient Greek gymnasium. They are commonly found in athletic and fitness centers, and as activity and learning spaces in educational institutions. "Gym" is also slang for "fitness center", which is often an indoor facility.
