The **Bunny Burrow**, formerly known as the “Rabbot Hole”, is a location that regularly appears in *My Life as a Teenage Rabbot*, and serves as the main home residence for the Rose System units. It is fully run and managed by Gwendolyn Sherwood, the owner of the warehouse itself.

Background
The Bunny Burrow is a large warehouse that is located at the outskirts of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. It spans well over a million square feet and is located at 1993 Southwest 22nd Street, which is about 200 feet (60.96 meters) away from the Rose family's residence, making it a considerable distance. The Bunny Burrow is well-furnished and offers contemporary features that cater to the company's needs. It provides ample space for storing personal and professional equipment, as well as fuel supplies. Additionally, the Bunny Burrow goes beyond its primary function as a warehouse by hosting various events and actively supporting local associations and community initiatives. The facility provides financial aid and sustenance to the underprivileged, demonstrating its commitment to the well-being of the community.
Warehouses play a critical role in supporting families, and the Bunny Burrow, like other warehouses, features multiple loading docks, a spacious open parking area with underground facilities, and a secure infrastructure. During power outages, the Bunny Burrow relies on four generators and solar energy, generated by solar panels installed on its roof. The occupants of the warehouse have access to a variety of amenities and services, including a fitness center, café, coffee shop, cafeteria, and vending machines strategically located throughout the building. These offerings enhance the overall experience and contribute to the Bunny Burrow's reputation as a modern and well-equipped establishment.
Beyond its functional aspects, the Bunny Burrow has become an important part of the neighborhood, symbolizing the diversity and potential of Milwaukee County. Since its opening, this contemporary warehouse has served as a community gathering spot, an educational hub, and a source of inspiration for residents. The Rose family and the entire neighborhood greatly benefit from the exceptional facilities provided by the Bunny Burrow, which has undergone extensive renovations. Its state-of-the-art features, cutting-edge technology, and tasteful furnishings have attracted a significant number of clients in the area, solidifying its position as a preferred choice for businesses and individuals alike.
Furthermore, the Bunny Burrow presents a wide array of facilities for its personnel, encompassing a café, a well-equipped gym, and numerous retail establishments. It has evolved into a notable constituent of the local community, emblematic of the multiplicity and preservation efforts within Milwaukee County. The Bunny Burrow has faithfully served as a gathering spot, an educational hub, and a source of inspiration ever since its inception. The exceptional customer service delivered by the Bunny Burrow stands out as one of its most alluring attributes. The committed staff members offer exceptional assistance and personalized care to fulfill every customer's needs in a skilled and empathetic manner. By accomplishing this, it becomes feasible to accomplish all deliveries promptly and accurately as per the company's stipulations.
When designing the warehouse space, the creators took into account the concept and specific requirements of the business. They aimed to make the design complex in order to stand out from competitors. The exterior appearance of the warehouse is defined by a striking seven-story brick structure with an arched entryway and an iron first floor. The large colorful windows add to its unique look. To maintain an industrial yet sophisticated aesthetic, the interior features interconnected lobbies, stairs, and other elements. The building's façade is made up of powder-coated steel frame, glass, and galvanized steel. Upon entering the structure, one will find wood and stone cladding covering the floors.
The interior of the warehouse area has been designed to accommodate various businesses. It can accommodate enterprises ranging from retail to manufacturing and storage. The interior includes unique elements such as stainless steel and aluminum shelves and countertops, well-lit walls and ceilings, cost-effective lighting fixtures, and easily maintainable flooring. Additionally, it has a basement and a bunker, along with a dedicated museum showcasing the previous locations where the RS Units were situated. The Bunny Burrow offers a wide range of services, including education for both children and adults, healthcare facilities, and spiritual guidance. To promote a positive culture among young individuals, the Bunny Burrow regularly organizes weekend getaways and a variety of other engaging activities. The Bunny Burrow first appeared in “Dungeon Book Hunting” as the building initially made a cameo appearance in the background, but later had its first full appearance in “Kate Comes Back.”.
Since its grand opening on April 17th, 2069, the Bunny Burrow has grown into a well-known resting spot, institution, and tourist attraction, attracting hundreds of visitors daily to experience Wisconsin's natural beauty and rich culture. The rabbots responsible for the Bunny Burrow's fame and populairty have established positive relationships with the community and are eager to share their expertise and background with anyone who asks. The Bunny Burrow has become a symbol of determination and optimism, reminding us of the importance of understanding and cooperation. It is more than just an old warehouse to the residents; it serves as an important center for inspiration, education, and entertainment for the entire neighborhood. The creation of the Bunny Burrow by the Rose family has transformed them from outsiders into a representation of the strength and diversity of Milwaukee County.
Furthermore, the Bunny Burrow is widely recognized for its vast area and impressive architecture. It showcases a unique blend of modern technology and timeless principles, creating a charming atmosphere reminiscent of a picturesque small town. As a result, it has become a popular destination for tourists and individuals from different cities and states. Within the Bunny Burrow, there are various establishments catering to diverse clientele, including a spacious medical facility, a convenient rest area, an exquisite dining establishment, a captivating souvenir shop, and venues offering live music and local excursions.
Since its establishment, the Bunny Burrow has thrived as a prominent hub in the Wisconsin region for over a decade. It was created with the intention of providing a sanctuary of strength, tranquility, and prosperity, following Stephanie Faulkner's neglect for more than ten years. The warehouse and its infrastructure were meticulously constructed with this purpose in mind. Since then, the Bunny Burrow has achieved remarkable success, serving as a sanctuary for both residents and visitors. It continues to mesmerize and impress tourists from around the world, adding opulence and grandeur to the city of Milwaukee through its vibrant neon signs and expansive warehouses.

History
The Bunny Burrow was established on April 17, 2069, in Milwaukee as a modest shed for Gwendolyn's residence. Initially, Gwendolyn and her companions resided with Stephanie Faulkner, who held complete control over the rabbots. During that era, these rabbots were simple, defenseless machines, lacking any self-defense mechanisms. They were mere imitations of Nokia smartphones and other contemporary devices. Addison and Samantha, in particular, bore little resemblance to machines. Addison took the form of a pill-shaped robot, while Samantha resembled a table with arms and wheels for legs.
For over four seemingly interminable years, they lived in this manner. However, following Stephanie's execution by Gwendolyn under federal orders, they now inhabit their robotic bodies, mirroring their former human-like selves. Subsequently, the shed was completely demolished, and the rabbots relocated to what is now known as the Bunny Burrow, formerly referred to as the “Rabbot Hole.” This name originated from their robotic rabbit nature and endured for seven years, according to Mandy. However, during a meeting in the Burrow's conference room on the fifth floor, Mandy, and the other rabbots conceived a plan to reboot and revamp their warehouse-turned-home. Their first step was to rename the location, opting for the more fitting moniker of the “Bunny Burrow” for this expansive facility.
Following the renaming, the warehouse underwent extensive refurbishment and renovation. Notably, a state-of-the-art security system was installed, along with an advanced artificial intelligence companion named “Virtual Interaction and Kinetic Interface,” or “V.I.K.I.” for short. V.I.K.I. is an advanced technology that revolutionizes the way rabbots process information, and it also assists them in tasks that robots cannot do on their own, but V.I.K.I., however, can accomplish. With its advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities, V.I.K.I. has the power to analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, providing valuable insights and predictions.
This game-changing innovation is set to transform industries, enhance decision-making processes, and unlock new possibilities for businesses worldwide. After the development of V.I.K.I. by Katherine and its installation into the Bunny Burrows, the upgraded systems were installed by the rabbots themselves. As a result, the Bunny Burrow quickly became a prominent powerhouse, excelling in power generation and the manufacturing of various goods, such as robots, tires, and other essential items.
The range of products manufactured in the Bunny Burrow is similar to those found in any conventional manufacturing facility, including machines, parts, and robots. However, the Bunny Burrow goes beyond its manufacturing capabilities to meet the needs of the human population residing in the city. It features a comprehensive in-house rest stop, inspired by the Westbound I-80 Tiffin Rest Area. Additionally, the cafeteria within the Bunny Burrow takes design cues from The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa, creating an ambiance reminiscent of a hospital setting. Elements of the hospital ward design were influenced by the Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center hospital building, formerly located on Main Street and 3rd Avenue in Marshalltown, Iowa, as it moved out to the edge of the city over by highway 30 in late 2022/early 2023. The cafeteria itself draws inspiration from the unique features of both hospitals and their respective cafeterias.
The design of the cafeteria in Bunny Burrow not only reflects the hospital setting but also aims to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for its visitors. The incorporation of elements from The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center adds a touch of familiarity, nostalgia, and authenticity to the space. The unique features of both hospitals and their respective cafeterias have been carefully considered to ensure that Bunny Burrow's cafeteria provides a pleasant dining experience for all.
The restroom designs in this building were inspired by those of the Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Centers, as they share a similar appearance. Similarly, the elevator bays draw inspiration from the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, reflecting their overall look. Moreover, telephone booths have been conveniently placed near the restrooms and across from the cafeteria. These telephone booths offer individuals a private space to make important calls or engage in confidential conversations. The strategic placement of these booths ensures easy accessibility for both employees and visitors.
In the year 2083, the Bunny Burrow serves as a multifunctional space for rabbots, acting as a home, hotel complex, hospital, repair center, rest stop, and more. It is also a vibrant community where rabbots participate in a variety of activities. From bustling markets to lively social gatherings, there is always something happening in this futuristic haven. The Bunny Burrow's advanced technology ensures that the needs of every resident are met, making it an efficient and self-sustaining hub. Moreover, the integration of advanced technology in the Bunny Burrow promotes a sustainable lifestyle.
The rooftops are adorned with solar panels, harnessing the sun's power to provide clean energy for the entire community. Recycling systems are seamlessly integrated, minimizing waste and maximizing resources. The Bunny Burrow stands as a prime example of how technology and nature can coexist harmoniously, creating a thriving and eco-friendly haven for its residents. In addition to energy and waste management, the Bunny Burrow is committed to sustainability in other areas as well. The community has implemented a comprehensive water conservation system, utilizing rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation methods to minimize water usage. Lush green spaces and gardens thrive, providing a serene and natural environment for residents to enjoy. Furthermore, the Bunny Burrow encourages sustainable transportation options, conveniently locating bike lanes and electric vehicle charging stations throughout the community.

Appearance
The Bunny Burrow, an expansive complex spanning an area of one million square feet, resembles a giant rabbit and provides an array of services, including a medical center, relaxation space, automotive maintenance facility, enclosed aquatic facility, and a fully-equipped eatery. The architectural design of the Bunny Burrow is inspired by the surrounding environment of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa. It is a hybrid of the Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center in Marshalltown, Iowa, and Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames, Iowa — all located in central Wisconsin.
The Bunny Burrow, located in central Wisconsin, was constructed between late 2042 and mid-2067. It consists of a seven-floor building situated on a million plus square feet of land spanning three to four and a half acres. The purpose of the Bunny Burrow is to provide a temporary sanctuary for individuals of all species, offering a brief respite to the city's inhabitants and the entire state of Wisconsin, particularly during times of global upheaval like the current COVID-19 pandemic. Each corridor within the Bunny Burrow is decorated with bright yellow walls and ceilings, featuring a grid of evenly spaced white arches.
The Bunny Burrow is proud to offer a state-of-the-art hospital, staffed by highly skilled and knowledgeable surgeons known as the Rose Sister Series Units, namely the rabbots themselves that serve as medical staff. These medical professionals operate with exceptional proficiency to ensure excellent care for all patients. The hospital operates on a first-come, first-served basis, prioritizing those in need of medical treatment. Additionally, the Bunny Burrow facility features a delightful café located above the elevator bays, providing a convenient spot for visitors to enjoy a meal. The café not only serves delicious food to customers and their families, but also offers essential supplies such as plates, silverware, and napkins.
Furthermore, the fourth floor of the Bunny Burrow boasts an extensive library that caters to a diverse range of literary interests. From timeless classics to scientific textbooks, this library provides something for everyone. It also houses a substantial collection of legal and administrative documents, ensuring that both rabbots and robots are well-informed about their legal rights. As a result, it serves as a valuable educational resource for individuals and their families. The Bunny Burrow also operates an internal automotive repair facility, exclusively managed by skilled rabbots. Licensed mechanics address vehicle maintenance needs, repairing cars, trucks, and other vehicles on-site. Customers can conveniently purchase tires, batteries, and other essential vehicle supplies at the store.
The fourth floor also offers a variety of recreational activities on the fourth lower level, designated as LL4. This level houses an indoor pool that serves as a popular spot for swimming, pool games, and birthday parties. It provides a pleasant environment for the Rose family and the entire neighborhood to unwind and engage in leisure activities.
The first lower level features an in-car garage, which allows residents to park their vehicles in case the streets are full. The second lower level typically functions as a smaller cafeteria, while the third lower level is dedicated to the Rose Sister Units and their charging bays in case their batteries require recharging.
The fourth level houses the building's swimming pool, which has been designed to provide a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. Equipped with various amenities, such as a spacious deck area and comfortable seating, families can relax in the sun while watching their children enjoy the crystal-clear water. The pool staff also organizes enjoyable activities like water polo and swimming lessons, creating an ideal destination for both relaxation and recreation.
As seen in “Ami's Change”, the Bunny Burrow also includes a fully-equipped and well-stocked in-house tornado shelter. This shelter was utilized during the events of “Ami's Change”, when a powerful EF-4 tornado struck the Milwaukee area, causing extensive damage to the community that took well over two years to rebuild. The Bunny Burrow suffered significant losses amounting to billions of dollars, but has successfully recovered since then. Despite the devastating impact of the tornado, the community's resilience and the effectiveness of their tornado shelter played a crucial role in their recovery.
The preparedness of the residents and the availability of the well-stocked shelter ensured the safety of everyone during the destructive storm. Today, the Bunny Burrow stands as a testament to the strength of resilience and the importance of being prepared for natural disasters. In addition to providing medical assistance, the Bunny Burrow has become a source of solace, protection, and education for many. Its services and resources have proven invaluable to the wider Milwaukee community and beyond. It has also transformed into a vibrant hub for neighborhood and community gatherings, featuring educational activities like Zooey Fitzpatrick's captivating shadow puppet shows.
The RS Units at the Bunny Burrow, an integral part of the local robot community, play a vital role in fostering a sense of camaraderie and social engagement among its residents. To this end, they organize a diverse range of collective outings, sporting events, and educational programs. These activities serve to promote physical well-being, mental stimulation, and personal growth, while also helping to create a vibrant and dynamic environment within the Bunny Burrow.
Throughout the year, the RS Units plan and execute various excursions to nearby parks, beaches, and other recreational areas. These outings provide opportunities for robots of all ages to explore their surroundings, engage in physical activity, and socialize with their fellow community members. In addition to promoting physical fitness, these outings also expose robots to new experiences and encourage them to develop a deeper appreciation for their natural habitat.
The Bunny Burrow's RS Units also recognize the importance of fostering intellectual development among its residents. To this end, they organize regular workshops and seminars on a variety of topics, such as nutrition, grooming, and environmental stewardship. These educational programs are designed to equip robots with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead healthy, fulfilling lives within their community.
Finally, the RS Units place a strong emphasis on sportsmanship and fair play. They regularly organize sporting events, such as races, obstacle courses, and games, which encourage robots to challenge themselves and develop their physical abilities. These events also serve as opportunities for robots to display their athletic prowess and camaraderie, fostering a spirit of friendly competition that is essential to the well-being of the Bunny Burrow as a whole.
