corridors
Long indoor walkways
Corridors is the plural of corridor—long, narrow passageways connecting rooms or parts of a building: hospital corridors, hotel corridors.
Extended to strips of land or airspace: a wildlife corridor allows animals to move between habitats; an air corridor is a designated flight path.
The corridors of power refers to the halls of government buildings where decisions get made, and by extension, the people and processes within them.
