Regarding positions in office
Hi teachers,
Could you kindly correct the following sentences regarding positions?
1. The washroom is out back through the exit door by the staircase area. (P.S The exit door leading to the staircase on one side, and the washroom on the other side. I have no idea how to get it right regarding this type of expression)
2. The washroom is in / at the back of the office off the pantry. (Does "off" mean near/by?)
3. Her desk is down the hall in the back of the office against the wall. (The desk is not flush with the wall, if she sits at the desk, her right hand side would be against the wall)
Thanks

"off" is used here to mean a change in direction of the main pathway - "off to the side".
These expressions are very common:
It is off the main corridor.
It is off the main road.
