  Infinite Corridor Wikipedia, Flickr, Delicious Bash at Bashr.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Infinite Corridor is the hallway, 251 meters (825 feet, 0.15625 miles, or just under 148 smoots) long, that runs through the main buildings of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, specifically parts of the buildings numbered 7, 3, 10, 4, and 8 (from west to east).
The corridor is important not only because it links those buildings, but also because it serves as the most direct indoor route between the east and west ends of the campus.
The corridor is decorated with many bulletin boards and display cases which have been remarkably unchanged over the years, though some such as the GAMIT board have been periodically vandalized over the years.

 Miranda McGill: 4.273 Assignment 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The infinite corridor as an entity is a meaningless passageway - however, when put into context with its location, it becomes the main artery through MIT and by virtue of this notion a key focus for considering the safety of its users.
Just as in many cities, the infinite corridor is full of strangers and it is of paramount importance that we must feel safe amongst all these people.
To be sure, during the day the corridor is a hub of activity, with students, faculty and staff rushing this was and that, from Mass Ave.

Except for the bulletin boards for general use, which are so heavily used they are cleaned off twice a week, many poster areas seem like they haven't changed since the days when hippies were the rage and when tear gas was used to deter war protesters on west campus.
Most of the posters in the corridor that are more permanentfixtures haven't been updated even stylistically since the 1970s.
The Infinite Corridor and Lobby 7 are two of the most visible places for visitors on campus.

Each of these three objects is an infinite plane, meaning that although they are represented on the workspace by a rectangular surface, they have no boundary as a horizontal limit.
Now rotate each plane on its Y axis 3 degrees, so that the camera is placed at the narrow end of the corridor, and the corridor gradually opens wider at the end.
The corridor will always be there though, as a look to either the left or right will prove (see Figure 3.5).

Clark screeches to a halt almost instantly, but still a good twenty yards passed the source of the quotation; a middle-aged man wearing blue jeans and a red long-sleeve shirt with a yellow lightning bolt down the center.
Continuing down the infinite corridor, the walls on either side of Clark begin to change shape, periodically jutting inward on either side.
Slowly, with the two of them neck and neck, the obstacles begin to disappear and the corridor returns to being a long straightaway as they speedily approach the finish line.

This article in Wired describes the iQuarium project at MIT, which will install large-screen displays on the walls and floor of the Infinite Corridor, a one-sixth-mile-long hallway that is MIT's "spinal cord".

Sensors on the corridor's ceiling and walls will pick up visitor movements, and the fish will respond by either approaching the "glass" of the tank or darting away.
