Collector's Office Panel Door

A concealed access panel in the Collector's office wall, likely part of the security or maintenance systems for the poison gas infrastructure. The Doctor targets it during the confrontation, using it as a tactical point to disrupt the Company's systems, suggesting it houses critical infrastructure. Nothing indicates its design beyond being a functional entry or service point.
