Roosevelt Academy

Roosevelt Academy is a super mutant base located just south of Faded Pomp Estates and north of the MDPL Mass Relay Station raider hideout.

Layout
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 and the dust settled, the super mutants created as a result of the Forced Evolutionary Virus experiment in Vault 87 came and set up shop in the ruined buildings and surrounding areas.

Maintenance Tunnels and Evacuation connects 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. It is recommended that the player clear out the three attached buildings before releasing them, if they are to stand a chance at surviving after being rescued. 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. This is one of the most concentrated areas in the game concerning super mutants. Lower leveled players (under Level 10) can be easily overwhelmed in a matter of seconds.

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. Just behind an average locked door if coming from the library entrance to the tunnels.

Roosevelt Academy

 * Pugilism Illustrated in the men's bathroom near Dean Dewey's office.
 * Pre-War book in Headmaster's Office on desk.
 * D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine on a desk in the southeast corner of the southwest Nurse's office.

Roosevelt Arts and Athletics Hall

 * Pre-War book in northern room on the ground floor.
 * Sheet music book on the stage near the music stands.
 * Tumblers Today on the third floor, in a room adjacent to the locker room on a desk with two ammunition boxes.

Appearances
Roosevelt Academy appears only in Fallout 3. There's also a mention of it in Fallout: New Vegas in the form of a bumper sticker found on ED-E that reads, "My child is an Honor Student at Roosevelt Academy."

Behind the scenes

 * The academy is named after Roosevelt High School, a real life school outside of Washington, D.C. in Maryland. Dean Dewey, the Academy's protectron, refers to the school as Roosevelt High School when activated at the Headmaster's terminal.
 * The name Dewey is a reference to Franklin Roosevelt's 1944 Republican opponent, Thomas E. Dewey or the creator of the Dewey Decimal System, a system used in most libraries.

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.
 * There are a number of ruined school desks and one locker in the academy that do not say 'empty' even when everything has been taken out of them.
