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.

The Maintenance Evacuation and Tunnels connect 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.

Trivia
The academy is probably named after Roosevelt High School which is a real life school in Washington DC. It is named after Eleanor Roosevelt rather than the two presidents Theodore and Franklin.

Bugs
The 360, PC, and PS3 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.
