The abandoned administrative building for the Enelica corporation.

In-game description

Research & Administration sits in the middle of Dam Battlegrounds, a short walk from Control Tower at about 80 m, with Small Creek and Primary Facility both about 120 m away. It was once the Enelica corporation's office block and now stands empty. The in-game map marks it for Commercial and Technological loot.

In an ordinary round the building holds 36 container spots, but most are only possible spots and each round fills just some of them. Medical Bags are the most common at 9, followed by 8 Worn Backpacks, 5 Ammo Boxes, 5 Grenade Tubes and 4 Weapon Cases, with a single Raider Cache. Turrets can spawn at 8 points and an ARC Surveyor at 1, though not every spawn point is used each round. Small ground machines, small flying machines and a large flying machine can also appear, and which machine shows up varies. Watch for 8 Cameras, use the 4 Ziplines to move around, and check the 2 Field Crates.

The nearest way out is the Water Treatment Elevator, about 240 m away, with the Red Lakes Balcony Lift at about 280 m and the Red Lakes Hatch at about 290 m. Cold Snap rounds bring 14 container spots of their own here.
