Tunnels
Continued from Page 1
“When somebody wants the
water cut off in a particular build
ing, we go into the tunnels and
take care of it,” Kuder said.
He said most of the older build
ings on campus have steam tun
nels underneath them, while lines
for newer buildings are placed in
the ground.
Many tunnels are square
concrete spaces, some as small
.. as 6 feet wide and 6 feet high.
The tunnels run almost the en
tire length of the main campus,
leaving the power plant from the
east and the west and extending
from Sbisa Dining Hall and Mili
tary Walk to the Memorial Stu
dent Center.
The pipes also run under Cain
Dining Hall, G. Rollie White Coli
seum, the 12 residence halls and
Sterling Evans Library.
The tunnels remain locked at
all times, mainly due to problems
with trespassing and theft.
Kuder and Smith said many
students have entered tunnels
and trashed them. The tunnels
are full of graffiti.
In addition, because the tun
nels run beneath many buildings
on campus, classroom and office
items have been stolen and smug
gled out through the tunnels.
“Through the years, we’ve had
to lock up the tunnels because
computers would come up miss
ing,” Kuder said. “Students used

to get in the tunnels really bad.”
Smith said the tunnels are locked
to keep students out of danger.
“We’re trying to keep folks out
of there for their safety,” he said.
“There are hazards of all kinds
in there.”
To prevent students from tres
passing, the tunnel passages are
equipped with motion detectors
and sensors.
But each semester some stu
dents manage to explore the tun
nels without getting caught.
One student, who will remain
anonymous, said he and some of
his friends have traveled through
the tunnels.
The tunnels often open into
large rooms where old couches
have been placed by students,
he said.
“A while back, students would
go down there just to hang out,”
he said. "But it’s dangerous, anil
people can get hurt.
"The tunnels are tall enough in
most places to walk around ...anil
it is pretty warm.”
The student added that A&M
legends say the steam tunnels
used to be part of the Under
ground Railroad, and the tunnels
from Sbisa to Duncan Dining
Center were once used to hide
slaves escaping to freedom.
