She needs about 2-3' more. Remember the corridor is much wider where the fridges and kitchens are, so even reduced it should still be wider than the part of the corridor that leads from Sudo/bar-room. 

What should happen is our earlier-discussed (and approved by john, if we want to do it) floorplan of putting doors into the north sides of both the storage rooms to provide further means of egress from CCL. With this in mind, I think the NE room would be a better room for CCL's lab, if that is an option for you guys? It is a bigger room, and putting a doorway in the storage room closer to the hallway would allow essentially a straight shot through to the double-doors on 48th - Such access could be really useful for example to bring a scissor lift into Sudo/CCL so it does not have to make turns, as well.

I'm not quite seeing the layout that is intended here, but keep in mind that this corridor is one of our main fire exit routes from the Bocce ball court (going through the Cafe is longer, and passes through a narrower doorway). I don't mind removing the wall between the utility room and the current "kitchen", but we do need to be very cautious about not limiting the fire egress in any way.

I'm sure there may be a foot or two that could be gained by taking out that wall, but probably less than Gabriella is assuming.
