ambulatories
Church walking corridors
Ambulatories is the plural of ambulatory, a covered walkway or corridor, especially one surrounding the apse of a church or connecting buildings in a monastery or hospital.
These passageways allow movement while providing shelter: The monks walked the ambulatories in silent contemplation.
In medical contexts, ambulatories can refer to outpatient facilities where patients receive care without overnight stays.
