The Red (Agnese) Bridge
The Agnese Bridge connects the main campus with the athletics complex, crossing the San Antonio River at its confluence with Olmos Creek.
Until the mid-1980's, the Sisters' land west of the San Antonio River was a natural, wooded area, with many headwaters springs. Sisters recall walking through a "wilderness" and seeing springs bubbling up from the ground.
A small dam downstream created a spring-fed lake, a popular recreation spot in the 1890's for Sisters and students. A bridge at this location appears in photographs dating from the early 1900's.
