Steam Tunnels

Because of the danger to all who enter them, the steam tunnels are locked and anyone found in the tunnels will be subject to review through the community standards process and/or criminal action. The University Police are responsible for keeping the tunnels locked and apprehending anyone who trespasses in them.

General steam tunnel tours are only available to CMU community members for verified academic purposes (e.g., students studying infrastructure, faculty researchig infrastructure). Those interested in academic-related steam tunnel tours should contact CMU's University Engineer or University Architect, for scheduling and details.
