==Significance== [[File:MIT infinite corridor 02.jpg|thumb|upright|Glass-enclosed historic displays]] The corridor is important not only because it links major MIT buildings, but also because it serves as the most direct indoor route between the east and west ends of the campus. The corridor was designed as the central spine of the original set of MIT buildings designed by [[William W. Bosworth]] in 1913.<ref>[[Mark Jarzombek]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=QiwRGc3E7Z8C ''Designing MIT: Bosworth's New Tech''], Northeastern University Press, 2004.</ref> The Infinite Corridor is slightly longer than that of the University Hall building at the [[University of Lethbridge]], [[Alberta, Canada]], which measures {{convert|800|ft|m}} long.<ref>[http://www.uleth.ca/campus-map/#40 ''University of Lethbridge campus map''], Retrieved 2013-12-08</ref> It is, however, significantly shorter than the so called "K-Straße" (K-street) in the Rost-/Silberlaube building of the [[Free University of Berlin]], which measures about {{convert|320|m|ft}}.<ref>[https://www.google.de/maps/@52.451925,13.2894801,18.7z ''Google maps distance measurement''], Retrieved 2016-06-10</ref>{{Citation needed|date=October 2020|reason=the existing citation may prove the length of that corridor, but not that it’s notable or known under this name}}
