That's too context-specific to answer without a whole lot more questions. Plus, if we're actually talking about code, physical metaphors break down anyhow. First-cut answer is "move bathrooms closer"/"make the hallway bigger" but one must also ask the question, "How did this mismatch arise in the first place?" Anything is possible, especially in software; the hallway may in fact be adequate and it's everything else that is grossly overspec'ed... or in fact, you might have ended up with a poorly-designed dining room for 100 people because that's all the previous guy knew how to build, when in fact you need a stadium for 100,000 people. (I've been there before.)
Ideally the architect is looking at a 'proposed' plan rather than what got implemented.
There is an entirely different (and very valuable) class of folks to can take an existing screw up and map out a series of steps to un-screw it up [1]. :-)
[1] I used to watch the New Yankee Workshop on PBS and see Norm cut lumber and then have it fit together so closely and smoothly that it practically didn't need glue. I suggested to my wife we could make a TV show which explored creative uses for a 2 x 4 that was 1/2" too short for its original purpose, or other parts that were made scrap by an imprecise execution of the 'cut to size' phase.

What's your solution to the bathroom problem?

You build a large bathroom closer to the banquet hall. :)
a series of tubes
Caching in the banquet room!
Rent a different banquet hall, of course
Porta Potties?
Buckets.
