Roosevelt Academy

Roosevelt Academy is a Super Mutant base located just south of Faded Pomp Estates, north of the MDPL Mass Relay Station raider hideout. It consists of three main buildings: Roosevelt Academy, Roosevelt Library, and Roosevelt Arts and Athletics Hall. Before the War, this served as the primary private school for the D.C. area. After the bombs fell, the Super Mutants came, and set up shop in the ruined buildings.

Maintenance Tunnels and Evacuation connects the three buildings via a subterranean route. The tunnels are patrolled by Centaurs and Super Mutants. There are several gas leaks throughout the complex of tunnels as well, so pay attention to where and when you are shooting. The tunnel's Library entrance is hidden underneath a trapdoor which is activated by an electrical switch on the wall.

Higher level players with Broken Steel can find Super Mutant Overlords throughout the site.

Maintenance Tunnels and Evacuation

 * There is a copy of Pugilism Illustrated on a shelf in a room just east of the sloping sewer tunnel (with radioactive barrels to the north) that leads to Roosevelt Library.
 * There are two locked doors, both of which are very easy, leading to small rooms, each containing a captive to free and a couple of gore bags which may contain small amounts of loot. The captives can be heard crying for help.
 * There is an ammo cache on some shelving in a hallway, two of the boxes are unlocked; the third is locked (Very easy).

Trivia

 * The academy is probably named after Roosevelt High School, which is a real life school outside of Washington DC in Maryland. It is named after Eleanor Roosevelt rather than the two presidents Theodore and Franklin. Dean Dewey, the Academy's Protectron, refers to the school as Roosevelt High School when activated at the headmaster's terminal.
 * The large number of Cherry Bombs found in the restrooms is likely a reference to the classic prank of flushing fireworks down toilets to create sewage water explosions.

Bugs
All versions of the game may experience a slight bug. There is an undetectable mine that can't be disarmed near a large pile of radioactive barrels in the evacuation tunnels. When the mine goes off, the gas in the area will ignite and do damage to the player. Edit: On first pass (on Xbox 360) was able to reach the "mine"; it was a grenade trip. But on multiple tries, could not reach the grenade again to disable and as noted, there was no apparent trigger. Also, after reloading a save in the tunnels, a grenade bouquet under some refridgerators may spontaneously go off, without any player interaction.
