CIA Academy of Espionage

## Description

"It looked like a dowdy old prep school that might've been popular around World War II but had long since lost its mojo. [...] The buildings were ugly and gothic. Though braced by flying buttresses and dotted with gargoyles, they were still gray and uninteresting. [...] The grounds were surprisingly large. There were vast expanses of lawn that [...] would be beautiful in spring. [...] And beyond the buildings stood a large, pristine swath of forest."

## Locations

* **Armistead Dorms**. The only student rooms on campus.
* **Hammond Quadrangle**. Students play soccer and Ultimate Frisbee in the quad. It is also where the first years take their SACSA exams. Mike placed a live bomb in the quad. This is a popular spot for many people. **Bushnell Hall**. A large lecture hall where Advanced Self-Preservation takes place.
* **Nathan Hale Administration Building** (five stories).
	+ Vandenberg Library. Four stories tall, ringed by three mezzanines and containing thousands of books (for instance, Caldwell's Pictorial Guide to Poisons and Antidotes)
	+ Angleton Meeting Room
	+ Principal's office. (Currently destroyed after the events of *Evil Spy School*)
	+ New principal's office. Consisting of a closet complete with a card table, a folding chair, and a sign on the door that reads "pirncipal".
* The **Mess Hall**. The cafeteria.
* A **gym**. At the center of the campus.
* **Showers**. Seen briefly in *Spy School Secret Service*, they are actually a nice place to be in the winter, due to being warm and steamy.
* **Eisenhower Artillery Range**. Here students practice using firearms, like crossbows, and shooting guns, most of which semi-automatic. M16 students can be used only after filling out a form. Many advanced students practice here.
* Various **subterranean levels**. A labyrinth of hallways that stretches for 13 miles below the campus, which include these facilities:
	+ Cheney Center for Information Acquisition
	+ The Morgue. Some fifth years take a forensics class in there, but it's shut down during the summer. It requires authorization to enter. Erica knows the code to get in.
	+ Secret stairwell that leads to the ATM vestibule across from the main entrance of the school.
	+ Secret shaft with a metal ladder that leads to a back alley just outside the perimeter of the school.

* **The Box**. A special, high-security room reserved for students in immediate danger. In *Spy School*, Ben had to spend a night in the Box after an assassin broke into his room the night before. It has no Wi-Fi connection. Obviously, Erica knows how to infiltrate the Box. This room is rarely used.
* There is a separate building for faculty.

## Trivia

* The school is infamous for its disgusting cafeteria food. Some think the CIA is actually trying to build up the students' immunity for poison. Murray states "Arsenic's got nothing on the meat loaf here."
* There are exactly 1,672 security cameras on campus. Erica Hale knows the location of each and every one of them.
* The cover name for the academy is *St. Smithen's Science Academy For Boys And Girls*.
* The Academy has been running for over 50 years.
* One of the original professors at the Academy was Abraham Hogarth, one of the CIA's first operatives, famous for his "theory of fear-based urination".
* The Department of Misinformation helps run the Academy.
* There are forms to fill out for weaponry, an example is the m16.
