Corridors are unsung heroes in schools. They have multiple functions, not least flexibility. The point is that the space is established at design stage but it can be used for a wide variety of things apart from movement. Critically, they are wide enough for equipment, should pupils need it, break out areas, extra classrooms, etc. Schools cannot refuse to accept a pupil who needs to use equipment to join in education with other children but we can't magic up wider corridors at a later date. Many schools discover this later, at immense cost. This short film explains a little more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4pE7tg3eus and ties in well with this BD article
