Height of an average starship corridor in Star Trek?

I thought this might better fit here then in general discussion but what would be average height of a corridor for Starfleet ships (mainly looking for TOS era ships though).

    Personally, I would say about 3 meters.

    Going by what we've seen on-screen, corridor height is very similar to that found in office buildings, or perhaps even the hallway of your own home.

    so 2.5 m to 3 m, with probably 3 m -3.5 m for the whole deck including the floor and roof plates

    In TOS, corridor height was eight feet (the height of a drywall panel) to the bottom of those shiny beams that hung across them, plus the height of one of the beams (probably about two feet). Also, the 'windows' on the hull line up right if the decks are approximately ten to twelve feet between the floors of each deck, even though they were probably sensor panels like the big square ones on the dorsal side of the dish rather than actual windows.

    So about 10-12 feet for the whole deck, so about 3-3.5 meters (give or take)
