They were used whenever a heightened occurence of pipes and other installations in order to facilitate maintenance works. The scope of works also included Lindner Glass Partitions of the types Lindner Life Stereo 125 and Lindner Life Pure 620 with integrated absorbers for improved room acoustics. The hallways have been partially fitted with corridor ceilings of type LMD-E.
