Any ideas on how to translate "vano" (always a problematical word) in the phrase "vano di accesso alle scale" in a list of areas which can be utilised as part of a system of emergency escape routes in a hotel: "Il percorso può comprendere corridoi, **vani di accesso alle scale**, scale, rampe e passaggi. Elsewhere the text also talks of "vani di uscita all'esterno". Thanks for any ideas, Sarah.

I'd say it like this. But what do I know? I'm only an architect :)
