Theme: Umbrella Facilities

Umbrella Corporation has numerous facilities spread not only through Raccoon City but the entire world. Right now, this news file just covers information Raccoon City facilities. As the scope of the story expands, so will this file.

This information is mostly for UMBRELLA CORPORATION employees; until the facility has been given a separate news file with the tag GAME INFORMATION (subject to change).

Arklay Mountain Research Facility: The largest publicly known Umbrella facility near Raccoon City. Access to the facility is guarded by checkpoints through a single road leading through the forest into the mountains. The general population is aware it exists and it has an almost Area 51 reputation among local teens.

Facility TH-04 'The Hive': The Hive is a massive underground research facility beneath Raccoon City where upwards of 500 employees live and work. Another 200 higher-level employees and researchers commute between Raccoon City and The Hive on a regular basis. There are two entrances to The Hive: Primary Entrance (Located in the Umbrella Building in Raccoon City) and Secondary Entrance (Through the Looking Glass House).

Looking Glass House 'Arklay/Abernathy Mansion': The secondary entrance to The Hive. This is also the entrance used to bring in or take out anything Umbrella doesn't want seen.

Research Labs: A handful of Research Labs are scattered throughout Raccoon City. The locations of these are highly guarded secrets and many of them are hidden in plain sight. Top Umbrella Researchers whose work is best left in secret are assigned to these. Rumors of them exist, but nobody has EVER found one, perhaps because the entrances tend to be elaborate puzzles.

Umbrella Building: The Umbrella Building in Raccoon City serves as a primary entrance to The Hive and Umbrella Corporations main seat of operations in Raccoon City. When most people think Umbrella, they think of this massive and ubiquitous building. Everyone knows about it. They even give tours.
