The tunnel between the Annex and the HospitalAt University of Rochester's River Campus, a system of tunnels connect many of the buildings, so that students don't have to venture out into the cold when going from one class to the next.
Three tunnels are especially interesting to check out. The tunnel that runs underneath the academic quad (parallel to Wilson Boulevard) is re-painted every several weeks by different clubs and organizations to advertise upcoming events, the tunnel connecting the basement of Susan B. Anthony Residence Hall to the basement of Spurrier (where the music practice rooms are located) is covered with interesting and artistic graffiti, and the tunnel connecting the Annex to the Hospital running underneath Elmwood Avenue in which graffiti from the 1960s and 70s still reflect the period.
An additional tunnel connects the Medical Center to the School of Nursing across Crittenden Boulevard. In the Medical Center, the entrance is a raised, closed door near the Courtyard Cafe, Parking Office and Pic's Place. The other end is the lobby of the School of Nursing. In the past, you could find a great deal of graffiti about R Wing (the in-patient psychiatric ward), but now (2007) it's just a solid, ugly shade of brown.
