The room being used for a training exercise.
The ISIS training and break room was seen in the first scene of the first episode of Archer. Functioning as a training room, Crenshaw was performing a training exercise with Archer. When the lights turn on we see the breakroom table and the vending machines. This room also had a direct window into the Office of Malory Archer.
