The wall of the apartments extends through the rear wall to form the support of the corridors on the exterior.
The corridors are separated vertically by twenty inches to provide a continuous space for apartment ventilation and view to the west.
There are three sets of service and tenant corridors every other floor.
The center corridor is for service to the building the other two corridors are for tenants.
The service and tenant corridors are undifferentiated on the exterior, except that the service corridors are shorter in length, this reflects the location of the service stairs of the end units, A and L. Service and tenant corridors are located at different heights.
From each apartment, the exit stair goes up to the tenant corridor and down to the service corridor.
There was a private elevator in the initial design to each apartment (X on the plan), it was never installed.
