Hallway
A hallway (also known as passage, passageway, corridor or hall) is an interior space in a building that is used to connect multiple rooms. They are generally long and narrow.
Hallways must be sufficiently wide to ensure buildings can be evacuated during a fire, and to allow people in wheelchairs to navigate them. The minimum width of a hallway is governed by building codes. The minimum width of hallways in residences of the United States is 36 inches (910 mm). Hallways are wider in higher-traffic settings, such as schools and hospitals.
In 1597, John Thorpe was the first recorded architect to replace multiple connected rooms with rooms along a hallway, each accessed by a separate door.
