Roosevelt Academy

Roosevelt Academy is a super mutant base in the Capital Wasteland $$ It is located just south of Faded Pomp Estates and north of the MDPL mass relay station raider hideout.

Layout
This area contains one of the Capital Wasteland's highest concentration of super mutants and consists of three main buildings: Roosevelt Academy, Roosevelt Library, and Roosevelt Arts and Athletics Hall. Before the Great War, the academy served as a private school for the D.C. area. After the bombs fell and the dust settled, the super mutants from Vault 87 came and settled in the ruined buildings, as well as the areas surrounding the campus.

The maintenance and evacuation tunnels connect the three buildings via a subterranean route. The tunnels are patrolled by centaurs and super mutants. The super mutants have two captives tied up behind locked doors. Be mindful of where any shooting takes place as there are several gas leaks throughout the complex of tunnels as well. The tunnel's library entrance is hidden underneath a trapdoor which is activated by an electrical switch on the wall.

In addition to super mutants and centaurs, higher-level player characters with Broken Steel can expect to encounter super mutant overlords throughout the site.

Behind the scenes
Roosevelt Academy is based on the real world location of Theodore Roosevelt High School in Washington, D.C. The in-game school's protectron refers to the school as Roosevelt "High School," as opposed to "Academy," when activated at the headmaster's terminal.

Bugs
As you enter the Maintenance and Evacuation tunnel from the Roosevelt Academy, you may notice a random explosion go off near a group of radioactive barrels. This is caused by a grenade bouquet that is set off by a bunch of objects set on the floor that twitch and knock a precariously placed radioactive barrel into the bouquet. You can dodge this by not bumping anything until you disarm the bouquet.
