There's a tunnel from Moulton to Wally as well and the CA's use it when they go on coverage at night. (They did 2 years ago anyways, not sure if they still do now)

That ones a personal fav. There is also one from ABB to ET Clark, Refactory to some residence, and many others.

Wow. That's so cool! I only ever knew about the tunnel between some North Quad residences and Commons =(. Tunnels are awesome.

I really wish that these tunnels were easier to find. Particularly the psych building to hospital one. Oh and I also wish for a tunnel between Mills and MDCL. Then the furthest I'd have to go outside is from the Psych building to ITB or from University Hall to BSB, neither of which are that far.

Can someone tell me where the entrance to the tunnel for the Psych Building to the Hospital and vice versa.

Also, can someone share what tunnels are always open?

Thanks!! Power to the Mac Tunnels!!

The ones that I know for sure are locked is the one between Moulton and Wally. The CAs have a key and can use the tunnel though. The one between Bridges, Matthews, and Wally is locked as well and I think that it is unsafe to use.

I had no idea there was a tunnel from ABB to ET Clark. Where do you access it from ABB?

Its the door in the basement of ABB, at the opposite end of the Thode door in that tunnel. Leads you to the boiler room so it requires a CB key

The best tunnels are in Carleton University. Almost the whole campus is connected by tunnels. So in class you may see people wearing shorts and sandals. I wish Mac had tunnels, the wind chill sometimes is unbearable.

Yep, they still do. I see them going through it all the time on coverage from the basement common room . It's not even locked, but that's during coverage, not sure about during the rest of the day.

lol, that would be nice. If they were to build a tunnel that long though, they might as well stop at every other building along the way :p.

I hate walking through the McMaster campus... it seems to be in a perpetual state of being flooded. Like srsly... who the hell thought the best place to terminate the drainage pipes of BSB was right onto the front lawn?

Well they only need to link ITB and the Psych Building, open up the Psych building to hospital tunnel and build an MDCL to Mills tunnel. Problem solved.
