I am trying to structure Drupal as a virtual School building.
A school building has corridors. Within these corridors there are a number of class rooms. There are several corridors within a school building. The corridor is basically a container for the rooms.
OG seems the obvious choice for the rooms. Any ideas how I can have a corridor-room structure while using OG
===================Science Corridor========================
Science 1 Room--------Science 2 Room------Science 3 Room---------Science 4 Room
Thanx

Just create a page manually
Just create a page manually or using views that shows the rooms you want -- if you tag groups by their corridor this would be easy to do with views.

Kyle is right, unless you
Kyle is right, unless you have hundreds of rooms this is probably faster done manually.
Are you trying to have content posted into a particular "room" in a corridor appear in any special way? What's the purpose behind the corridor room structure?

Use Taxonomy
Use taxonomy, the way it's done on this GDO site. Here, the "corridors" are Geographical, Working Group, Distribution, Event Planning & Archive.

corridor room structure
The school has Grade 1 to 10 with four class rooms A, B,C,D within each Grade . There are approximately 50 boys per class making that 2000 students.
The idea is to have each Grade as a Corridor and each class as a OG room. The idea being each Grade can share resources, be they lesson plans, links, pictures. Students can collaborate and learn even though they may belong to different class rooms within a grade.
Grade 1 (corridor)
A-B-C-D
Grade 2 (corridor)
A-B-C-D
OG Subgroups
Now that you describe it this way, I was thinking like Bill that OG Subgroups might work well.

Taxonomy or OG Subgroups
As Erik suggests, taxonomy seems like the clear choice here.
This could also be a case where OG Subgroups ( http://drupal.org/project/og_subgroups ) could work.
