Glossary Term Defined

A corridor established mathematically as a minimum path configuration on a multi-occupant floor necessary for access to and egress from occupant areas, access stairs, escalators and elevators. The corridor widths can have a major impact on building numbers and should always be considered. Base building circulation does not have to provide access to infrequently accessed service areas. When a constructed corridor does not exist a Hypothetical or Optimum Corridor may be created mathematically. See Base Building Circulation.
