Infinite Corridor - Lobby 7

Lobby 7

Lobby 7, so named because of its location in Building 7 (formally named the Rogers Building), is a large 100-foot vertical space open all the way up to the interior of the Little Dome. A carved inscription circles the space just below the base of the Little Dome, and has been the subject of a hack. Four empty pedestals occupy the corners of the square lobby; they were originally intended for large figural sculptures, but are instead often occupied by students studying, or occasionally playing music. The Infinite Corridor begins straight ahead through the lobby, on the opposite side from the street.

Lobby 7 is frequently used for formally scheduled or impromptu concerts. During the 1970s, two large pillars flanking the entrance to the Infinite Corridor were partially wrapped in paper and used by the liberal "Alternative Advertising" and somewhat less liberal "Pillar Productions" where students would scrawl responses to issues of the day such as nuclear power or whether disco sucked. A display of Air Force art was once withdrawn after vandalism in the lobby.

Banners are often hung from the upper levels of Lobby 7, including the occasional hack such as "Don't let the Grinch steal your Christmas" in reference to the common complaints about the campus Christmas tree. The cavernous interior space of Lobby 7 is frequently the site of large-scale indoors hacks.
