bread-making
This is the plan for a bread-making factory.
At a point between exiting the oven and being packed into trays, the bakery products pass through a "sas pulvé alcool" (where they are presumably sprayed with alcohol).
Located relatively close to this point is a "local alcoolodrome" to the edge of the central production hall in a similar position to other storage and utility areas.
I can only presume this is where the alcohol is stored, but I am unable to understand the use of the prefix "-drome". Can anyone shed some light?

alcohol storage area
I've put a 3 because this is an educated guess based on your comments about other storage areas.
There are quite a few French words ending in "-drome". It probably started with "hippodrome", and then spread to things like "aérodrome" and "vélodrome".
It basically means "a place where". I'm not sure, but it might have humorous connotations - I like "baisodrome":

It's from the Greek dromos, meaning "course" or "running".
