Haven

Haven is a location in the Pitt in 2277.
==Background==
Before the Great War, Haven was one of the many skyscrapers in downtown Pittsburgh. Unlike the buildings surrounding it, Haven appears to have survived the devastation with minimal damage. The building is ornamented with art deco sculptures.
At some point following the Scourge by the Brotherhood of Steel, Haven was chosen by Ashur as his headquarters after founding the Pitt. It is located in the Pitt Uptown area of the city.
==Layout==
===Haven entrance===
Haven entrance is the ground floor of the building, guarded by three Pitt raiders. The section has three levels with the higher ones being reachable via staircases to the east and the west of the building. A lift opposite the main entrance connects to Haven itself. The higher levels mostly contain beds for the guards and partial galleries overlooking the main hall on the ground floor. 
===Haven===
This section of the building is home to Ashur and his family. A corridor with a small room to the left leads to the central room which Ashur uses for meetings and audiences, secured by two ceiling-mounted automated turrets. From there, corridors lead to Ashur's living quarters on one side and Sandra's laboratory on the other. Ashur's room contains a safe with several holotapes addressed to his daughter Marie (taking them will act as stealing, thus Karma will be impacted) and a terminal through which the turrets in the main room can be controlled. Sandra's laboratory contains various scientific equipment, Marie's cradle, and a terminal which holds information about her research.

==Behind the scenes==
* Haven is based on the real Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh. Unlike Haven, the Cathedral of Learning is located outside of downtown Pittsburgh on the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood, east of downtown.
* The wooden statue outside of Haven is based on the ancient druid wicker man and even has a corpse inside of it. More specifically, the statue was inspired by a wicker man statue at the Burning Man festival, which lead artist Nathan Purkeypile attended in 2008.Nate Purkeypile on Twitter
* Level designer Jesse Tucker worked on the creation of this location, alongside the rest of the Pitt Uptown.Jesse Tucker: "My Roles in Fallout 3" (archived)
