  • 无尽长廊（英語：Infinite Corridor）是一条251米长（825英尺，0.16英里，147斯穆特）的走廊，走廊將麻省理工学院的一些建筑物贯穿起來，特别是7,3,10,4和8号（从西到东）大楼。 走廊之所以重要，不仅因为它连接这些建筑，也因为它是校园东西间最径直的室内路线。最初的的MIT建筑物群由威廉·W·博斯沃思在1913年设计，这条走廊被设计为这群建筑的中轴线。 走廊内的“交通”有时十分繁忙，实际上，传统的"hack" (恶作剧)活动，1985年时在此走廊放置交通信号，车道标线，和类似于高速公路的路牌。 有时，土木与环境工程（CEE）部门交通实验室的学生，会将无尽长廊内的步行交通当作一个比较安全，方便的高速公路交通模型来研究。一个学生的报告得出了如下看似用于无尽长廊的非正式交通规则： “无尽长廊道路规则包括：靠右，限制组员，左侧通过，瓶颈处排队通过，禁停/禁止减速，走廊内交通有先行权，禁止肢体接触和眼神交流。” 在每年十一月中旬和一月下旬時，走廊和黄道面对齐，於是直射的阳光會貫穿整条走廊，教職員和學生會在那時候慶祝一番。 (zh)
