start at the green dot.
Before you go down the stairs, toss a gernade to take out the combine waiting for you

When you do go down the stairs, look out for the head crab wolf and another combine. Head to the right and turn around and go between the two large computers. Try to turn right, to the stairs and the advisor will again use its powers to cuase the floor to bend upwards preventing you from reaching the next set of stairs. If you try to jump the railing at the other end, the adviser will cause the walls to crush you to death.

Instead, go back the way you came and enter a room to the left of the elevator. Inside, tied up is a fellow reistance fighter. Alyx will untie him and he'll folow you around.

exit the room and you'll see that the double doors at the other end of the hall are open a crack. go through those doors to meet a few more combines, and a new enemey with no-name. It looks like a gorrilla with hook like hands and it will toss the various exersize equipment in the room at you as you fight it. You can give it a taste of it's own medicen with the gravity gun to cause massive damage.

With this exerisize room cleared, look at the large pipe in the wall next too the double doors. It is marked "danger, flamable". IF the pipe ruptured durring the battle, you would have a huge hole in the wall. If not, then fire with the flare gun from a safe distance.

The pipe will explode, taking with it a good deal of the wall and creating a path to the next set of stairs down. becareful exiting as there are a few barnicals in the ceiling.

BTW you can explore a few more rooms here, a few cabins, and the rest rooms. One of them, the one to the right of the elevator is filled with explosive barrels and a triger on the floor, just steping inside results in an instant game over.
