Rommet har gått under mange ulike betegnelser. Arkitekt Hjelte omtalte det som "klostergården" i noen av sine notater fra 1920-tallet. Blant fanger i den tyske fangeleiren ble begrepet "Hofen" brukt, en fornorsking av det tyske "Hof" - gårdsplass. Tidligere fanger og andre har også kalt rommet for borggården.
In the beginning, this was a secluded area where the reformative school had a garden (picture 1). The birch existed before the building was erected, and is marked as "old birch" in the first plans for the garden. When German authorities occupied the building grass and shrubs were removed, and the garden was turned into an appeal court for the first prisoners (picture 2). After the war it was also used for gymnastics by prisoners in Innherad tvangsarbeidsleir – a forced labour camp for collaborators (picture 3).
The room's character was changed when the building was turned into a school around 1950. The attic windows were removed, and the loft converted into a full first floor. In the 1970s, the small-paned windows were replaced with large window panes without crossbars. During renovation of the building before 2006 the windows were changed once again, the walls were painted yellow and a new main entrance with a wheelchair ramp was added to the east wall of the atrium.
The room is known under different names. Architect Hjelte described it as the "cloister" in some of his notes from the 1920s. Among the prisoners in the German prison camp, the term "Hofen" was used, referring to the German term "Hof". The term “borggård” – courtyard – has been used both by former prisoners and others.
