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. 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.

[edit] Notable Loot
[edit] 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.
- There are two locked doors, both of which are very easy, leading to small rooms, each containing a captive to free and a couple of gore bags which may contain small amounts of loot. The captives can be heard crying for help.
- There is an ammo cache on some shelving in a hallway, two of the boxes are unlocked; the third is locked (Very easy).
- There are 3 ammo boxes and an Assault Rifle adjacent to the irradiated pile in the sloping sewer tunnel. One has an easy lock. If you pick the average lock on the door that leads behind the irradiated pile, and stay against your right wall closest to the barrels, you can reach all three boxes and the Assault Rifle without contracting any radiation, as there is a large amount (up to 19 rads/s).
- This is a decent source for Frag Grenades for low level characters, they are abundant on Super Mutants and in gore bags.

- There is actually a 4th floor. You can reach it by heading to the room with a huge hole in the floor after the fire hose on the 3rd floor. You can cross to the door on the other side by sticking really close to the walls. Up there are some super mutants (if you have not killed them already), some ammo, and a locked cabinet with some ammo and a gun.
- There are a lot of Stimpacks in the nurses room.
[edit] 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.
- One of the five pairs of Sunglasses in the game is in the ladies' bathroom on a hand dryer.
- Quite a few Nuka-Colas in random containers and vending machines.
- Possible Nuka-Cola Quantum spawn in a vending machine to the left of the entrance.
- Tumblers Today, two ammo boxes , a desk containing ammo, a safe (Average Lock), and two first aid boxes (one Average Lock) on the third floor, in a room adjacent to the locker room.
- Safe (Easy Lock), first aid box, in a room adjacent to the locker room on the third floor, next to the room containing Tumblers Today, along with some minor ammo on a table.
[edit] Roosevelt Library
- Nuka-Cola Quantum on the desk in the main room on 1st floor, possible spawn in a vending machine in a room to the left of the entrance, and also two vending machines in the far right corner of the map on the second floor.
- 2 Stealth Boys: one on the desk, one in the ladies' bathroom on the floor to the right of the toilet.
- Locked safe on the wall behind the desk-Very Easy, contains random loot.
- Ammo cache near the desk. One ammo case is locked (Very Easy), two others unlocked.
- Roosevelt Library Key looted from the super mutant inside, who wields a Minigun.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Bugs
As you enter the Maintenence 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. (Confirmed, Xbox 360)
[edit] Notes
- The academy seems to have a large amount of train wreckage littering the outside.
- In the Arts and Athletics Hall there is a unique miniature city building on the stage, possibly for a play.
