 * Note: There is what can only be a portion of an intestine in one of the upstairs dormitory toilets in this area. It's easy to identify the toilet as there is a box of Gum Drops on the toilet seat. The Enclave soldier that... deposited it there could probably use more fiber in their diet.

At the roof there are 2 landing pads for Vertibirds, and be careful, because Vertibird will set off several Enclave Soldiers there. There are also 2 small huts with some ammo.
