Hey, it's the emergency turbolift. It's that or something that Voyager would use when they are docked inside Starbase 74.

Well... yeah - its aft access... but I'm sure there is also non turbolift access to deck two. yeah that second circle is where they but the actual turbolift pod in in say spacedock.

Consider this. Maybe both arguements for the ramp behind the door near Kim's station are correct. Maybe, as the corridor goes back, half of the floor stays level on deck one and proceeds aft to the escape pods on the port side and several rooms, like the head, on the starboard side. The other half of the corridor has a hole in it like the stairs to a basement in a house, where the floor turns into a ramp and leads to deck two. This hole in the floor would happen before the corridor reached the escape pods.
The second set of doors to the Briefing Room is not a head. We've seen people entering the room through both sets of doors. There is clearly a hallway outside that set of doors.

It would be practical to extend ramp/ship's ladder access to the briefing room, since this is the place where Janeway often meets alien emissaries. It would only be prudent to have a direct way to get to the room from the transporter rooms without letting the alien visitors see the bridge of the ship!
I'm sure Rick will draw at least one ramp for the Voyager blueprints when we get that far - he did for the E-D. It should definitely connect both to the corridor behind Kim and to the one branching from the briefing room, because we have seen people depart through both to conduct business in the lower decks. So I postulate the following for Deck 1:
Corridor from Janeway's Ready Room only leads to the head. Corridor from Briefing Room curves to meet a lengthwise central corridor behind the bridge. Corridor behind Kim leads directly to this central corridor. At the front end of the corridor is the turboshaft, and the "pocket" for the spare turbolift could easily have an extra door opening to this corridor. At the aft end of the corridor is a ramp or ship's ladder down to Deck 2 and below. On both sides of the corridor are lifepods, heads for the crew, and various other utilities.
Normally, our heroes use the bridge turbolift to move since there's nothing stunningly interesting on Deck 2 and turbolift gets them faster to more distant locations. But low-ranks often use the ramp/ladder so as not to crowd the 'lift. And foreign dignitaries are taken to the Briefing Room either up the ramp (not ladder in this case!), or through the alternate door to the turbolift, so as not to let them to see the bridge.

Wasn't there a thread in the Voyager forum on this topic?? I know that in "Twisted" someone (Kim or Janeway) refers to a small cargo hold behind the bridge. I also like the joke someone made about a recurring ensign having a jacuzzi and armoury back there because in one scene he left the bridge through that corridor looking unshaven, and came back clean-shaven wielding a phaser

Timo: For the most part, I agree with your theory, but there are lifeboats on only one side of the corridor as you can see in The_Tom's picture of deck one. My guess is that the corridor behind the bridge forms a modified 'T' with the top of the 'T' being directly behind the bridge and the stem proceeding aft. One side of the cross goes to the turbo lift, the other side to the briefing room. I think the aft corridor probably dead-ends into a window or small docking hatch (I can't really tell from the picture what's back there but I think I see something). I still think a small ramp drops off like stairs directly forward of the escape pods and leads to deck two. I don't like the idea of a ladder.
As for nothing interesting on Deck 2, the mess hall is down there. Tom Paris need FOOD!

They'll never do it! A) They'd have to add on to the existing bridge set which probably takes up almost all the space they have in that area and B) according to various behind the scenes things I've seen, they probably use the space behind that door to store wardrobes and other props.

Easy to get around it - start filming on a different set... I mean the Defiant sets don't join - but you'd never notice - just make it so you can't see behind you as you walk down the corridor/ramp.

Aban: Yup. Just two lifepods, and a T-shaped (or perhaps more like Y-shaped) corridor. There doesn't seem to be any room for a connection from Janeway's Ready Room to this corridor, but there's plenty from the Briefing Room (there could even be a small pleasant lounge aft of the BR, with some replicators for a quick snack).
And by ladder I meant "ship's ladder", a steep stairway perhaps at 60-70 degree angle, not a vertical ladder. You know, the type Paramount could get cheaply from any submarine movie, complete with a very pleasing metallic sound when the crew races up and down.
A door or airlock would be nifty at the aft end, and remniscent of the TOS movie ships, but the actual ship model probably doesn't have a door on the exterior. I haven't found a decent picture yet... My Monogram model certainly omits this detail, but then again, it has very little detail overall.

Yeah Timo, I looked at mine too, but I wouldn't believe that. My guess is either an EVA hatch is there or maybe a window.
And now i see what you meant by ladder. That doesn't bother me nearly as much. Sounds like the stairs to my basement actually. I'm gonna kill myself on those things...

Y'know, I doubt that they would build a whole new set just to show one shot of the hallway between the bridge and the briefing room. I mean, we never got to see the hall between the E-D's bridge and the observation lounge. It was a long time before I realized that the back wall of the bridge and the back wall of the OL were not right up against each other... :-)

I guess that paramount just didn't think on how theese rooms would look when all put together when designing voyager interrior...or any other starship interior for that matter...

"That leaves 57 rooms left. Here's what's been revealed:
bridge, ready room, briefing room, mess hall, cargo bays (at least two), transporter rooms (4), torpedo control room, sickbay, holodecks (2), armory, science lab, astrometrics lab, geology lab, turbolift maintenance/control, shuttlebays (2), Main engineering, deflector control, navigational control, environmental control, stellar cartography, stasis bay (large empty room in "One"), morgue chamber room, brigs (2), hydroponics bay/lab, airponics bay/lab, and storage chambers (at least 3)."
1) The "Stasis Bay" was in all likelyhood a large Cargo Bay temporalily converted for the task (and how long did it take to replicate over 100 chambers?).
2) Since Geology is a science, we can assume that there is no "Science Lab", but rather a lab for each of the pertinent science disciplines.
3) Although programmed with a plethora of Medical knowledge, the Doctor may not know much about military/shipboard nomenclature. There are no "rooms" aboard a vessel, there are compartments - although a compartment can be so referred (Briefing Room). A compartment is defined as an area which can be sealed off from others by bulkheads and hatches (compartmentalized). The Doctor's office is not a compartment, although the Medical Lab adjoining it might be (is there a hatch between it and his office?
In my upcoming deck plans, I have created a list of compartments. I will check it against your list (including quarters but excluding heads and corridors and jefferies tubes/access crawlways). I sure hope I'm close to 257. Otherwise I'm in for a lot of reworking...
