jens Kaestel's suggestion is OK as well, but I would use the term 'warehouse' for the building per se, whereas 'stock' relates to the contents.

Consignment warehouse
"Lager" in Danish = "warehouse". A consignment warehouse is where you keep consignment stock. (I used to manage a warehouse in Sydney)

The term "warehouse" can be used for an entire building as well as for each grouping of stock kept inside the building, e.g. 'first inventory warehouse', 'second inventory warehouse', 'scrap warehouse', 'consignment warehouse' etc.
