Does a factory count? If so... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Everett_Factory

Boeing Everett Factory

checks

Volume: 13.3 million m³

That being said, I don't know if it is internally divided.

There's a really large cave in Southeast Asia somewhere.

The Sơn Đoòng cave in Vietnam:

Formed in Carboniferous/Permian limestone, the main Sơn Đoòng cave passage is the largest known cave passage in the world by volume – 3.84×10⁷ m³ (1.36×10⁹ cu ft), according to BCRA expedition leader Howard Limbert. It is more than 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) long, 200 metres (660 ft) high and 150 metres (490 ft) wide.

So that'd be nearly triple the volume of the Everett Factory. Though the cave has two holes in its roof, and I don't know exactly how you define "room" here.

They had to change their venting and airflow system for that building after it formed a cloud and rained inside. When your room can have weather systems, I feel you've entered a whole new category of 'room' by definition.

Thats crazy! Fascinating! Could one engineer a climate system such that it always rained? Can lightning and thunder occur as well?
