What are the hanger tails and new construction

I've noticed in looking at a number of bases there are hangers that have a square type of 'main hanger' than have what I call a tail that connects back to a small square structure. To me it is either a walk way or possible vent shaft going back to the square area. If it is a vent area why not just have doors on both sides of the hangers? Anyway what are these things? Also in looking at the new pics, the new construction by the base helicopters appears to be one of these hangers with a tail. You can see the form in the ground. Additionally in looking at the form you can see where the taxi way was dug up and repaved. I assume this was done to pipe electricity and plumbing to the new hanger. But if that was the case why not just tunnel under the taxi way? Any way I am more interested in what the tails are on the hangers.
