Can a room be gravitationally shielded? No, it can't.

Explanation:

the room cannot be gravitationally shielded because there is only one gravitational charge, in this case is mass. Mass can always be positive. the room can be electrically shielded because there are two type of charge, positive and negative charge than can cancel each other out.
