Ignore the switch for now. Wait in this safe spot for Sophia to go through another round of staff blasts. There are usually 11 blasts between power-ups. When she's reached 9 or 10, run down the stairs to the right.
Pick up the large medi pack on the bottom step. Then turn around. Don't roll or Lara will fall off the edge. If you want all the kills, you'll need to climb over the low wall into the dark area on the right side of the stairs.
Here you'll meet another animated corpse. If you still haven't killed the enemy who appeared when you took the first large medi pack, he will make his way down the stairs to this area. So watch out for him as well.
Wait here until Sophia pauses once more to power up her staff. Then quickly climb back onto the stairs...
...and run for cover behind the pillar where you hid before. Climb/jump back up the steps, and run for cover behind the pillar where you hid before.
When Sophia pauses to power up again, run to the switch, pull it and hurry through either of the doors.
Now you'll need to act quickly as 4 heartless brutes move in. Again, the Desert Eagle is the weapon of choice here. You won't need it for Sophia, so now is the time to bust it out. Shoot the first 3 enemies as you run toward them.
Then roll and take out the fourth.
Pick up a small medi pack near one of the bodies plus another small medi pack and flares at the back of the room. Go through the doorway on the left near the glowy-eyed mutant embedded in the wall.
Slip carefully past the swinging burner and use the switch to open a door above.
Climb the ladder at the top of the stairs and go through the door you just opened. As you move along the passageway, the door closes behind you.
