 Overview
 Description
There are 2 tunnels that are open to everyone on the medical campus. These you can access without any problems. The utility tunnel is a bit tricky to get into. Most of the doors going into it seem to be not alarmed however one of the doors located near some elevators in the basement OR are alarmed as i found that out one day as security chased me away =/
On the university side, every door looks to be alarmed except a door to what i think was morey hall (correct?)

If one were to look at just how big both campuses that make up the university and hospital, one could easily assume that the utility tunnels would be pretty neat. However that is not the case. After one day of exploring the university side i found myself going back in circles to make sure i wasn't missing something. Maybe it was that i expected too much but these tunnels were rather boring!

With that said if you go into the power plant make sure you watch out for the workers as i have almost been caught a couple of times. Just stay off the ground floor and watch out for them as they do work in the basement part quite often. They are there even at night.

     History
    Strangely enough here is some history that most people including the library staff at the college, do not know:
    "On September 5, 1945, just three days after Japan formally surrendered, Los Alamos chemist Wright Langham sat down with scientists working at the Manhattan Annex, the secret research facility at the University of Rochester to plan the most comprehensive set of plutonium injections yet undertaken. This new round of injections would be a collaborative effort. Langham would supply the plutonium; the Rochester doctors, the patients. According to documents made public in 1994-1995, the Rochester segment of the plutonium experiment was part of a larger, planned study in which fifty patients were to be injected with radioisotopes of plutonium, polonium, uranium, lead, and radium.

    Rochester's Manhattan Annex was originally located across the street from the medical school and connected by a tunnel. There, as at all Manhattan Project sites, secrecy was closely guarded. Constructed in five months, the Annex employed 350 people by the end of the war. Its activities were shielded from intruders by Army guards, and the occupants' backgrounds were thoroughly investigated to make sure "they could be depended upon to keep secret work which contributed toward the development and production of the atomic [bomb]." - The plutonium Files
