Is there a difference between 事務室 and 事務所?


I want to say that I work in an office. I researched both terms. Shitsu is a
room, but I assumed that sho is used more for location. Which term is more
appropriate to use?




～室 is for a room, and ～所 is for a facility which usually has more than one
room.

If "office" refers to a certain room in an organization, use 事務室. If "office"
refers to an entire building, floor or organization, use 事務所.

**EDIT** : The same is true for the translation of "laboratory"; you have to
correctly choose between 研究室 and 研究所.
