Wednesday morning was a highlight of the reunion - a very special tour of the Alumnae archive/office, Heather Pavilion, Centennial Pavilion, (nowThe Blackmore Pavilion) and even a walk through the tunnels. Sadly, the tunnel to the student nurses’ residence was closed.

In 1968 I was a student nurse. My room at “The Res” was on 3North. It was near the start to the tunnel which
went to Heather and Centennial Pavilion.

EDIT: I noticed some hatched line on some of those district street maps but this image seems to explain why there was a tunnel under 12th Ave since the laundry was over there.
