	+ + '''Wheelchair Accessibility''' + + For the most part, the River Campus tunnels are wheelchair accessible, with one exception. When entering the tunnels from the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library, be advised that the one branching to the left that runs under Bausch & Lomb and Dewey Halls (second photo) contains a small staircase. To get to those buildings using the tunnel system, take the tunnels branching to the right and you will come to the connecting tunnel (first photo) that will take you to the other side of the Eastman Quad.

(Note: the River Campus was originally intended for the male students only, with the women remaining at UR's original ["Price Street"] location. The Prince Street campus was closed in 1955.) Additional tunnels were added over the next few decades. Students of the past actually had access to even more tunnels than they do today. At one point, you could travel from the Towers dormitories to Sage Art Center and from Susan B. Anthony Hall to Rush Rhees Library.
