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. 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.

Appearances
Roosevelt Academy appears in Fallout 3. There's also a mention of it in the Fallout: New Vegas E3 trailer.

Behind the scenes

 * 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
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.
