A corridor in a facility that is used as a distribution pathway for building services such as cable, compressed air, deionized water, etc. A dedicated service corridor can sometimes be a functional block because people will rarely cross it to go into another lab.

Central service corridors in labs can provide low-cost space to put necessary, but unsightly, equipment that does not need to go into expensive office or laboratory space.
