Blackwell Academy Hallway

Life is Strange

The Hallway in Blackwell Academy connects two classrooms, two separate bathrooms for boys and girls each, Principal Wells' Office, the exit to the front entrance of Blackwell Academy and doorways to other interior areas of the academy. Max Caulfield will often pass through this hallway to reach an objective location.

Max's locker is located among the lockers along the corridor. Most of the people at this corridor are busy with their own affairs. There are various posters and notice boards along the walls of this hallway. There is a soft drinks and a snack vending machine at this corridor between Principal Wells' Office and the boys' bathroom. On the other side, there is a trophy case between the front entrance and the girls' bathroom.
