The walls lining the Infinite Corridor were painted stark "Institute Gray" with black doorway trim until Spring 1970, when a number of wall murals appeared.  With two notable exceptions, the paintings were soon replaced by [[bulletin boards]] and enclosed display cases which remained largely unchanged for several decades.  A Summer 2010 renovation installed more-durable boards, and more clearly marked many portions of them as reserved for exclusive use by one specified student activity or another.

The Cashier's Office wall was painted as a giant [[United States one-dollar bill|dollar bill]] for over 25 years (and was itself the subject of a number of non-destructive hacks).<ref name=10KHack>{{cite web|title=$10,000 Bill Mural at the Cashier's Office|url=http://hacks.mit.edu/by_year/1993/10K_bill/|work=MIT IHTFP Hack Gallery|access-date=2011-05-02}}</ref> The mural was eventually removed and replaced with a glass wall when the space behind it was converted to a community lounge.<ref name=TeardropHack>{{cite web|title=Teardrop on dollar bill mural|url=http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/2005/goodbye_dollar_bill/|work=MIT IHTFP Hack Gallery|access-date=2011-05-02}}</ref> A picture of the old wall mural is etched  into the glass, as a historical marker.  The oldest remaining wall mural (near the former location of the Admissions Office) is an early-1970s style colorful painting of a "multicultural" group of people walking quickly, painted by Andrea H. Pritchard, wife of Physics Professor David E. Pritchard.{{cn|date=September 2019}}  Having survived many renovations and repaintings of the Infinite Corridor, the mural now is a carefully preserved relic of that era.

Some adjacent laboratories, notably those of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE, Course 3), now have floor-to-ceiling glass walls and large posters or display cases explaining some of their research activities and course offerings. This is a natural result of the DMSE's facilities location surrounding the eastern end of the Infinite Corridor.
