Setting
Detroit Memorial High School
The school was established in 2002 in honor of the victims of the Battle of Detroit in 1992, a calamity which gave way to Millennium City's founding atop the remains of Old Detroit.
Detroit Memorial is located at 2930 E. Jefferson Avenue in the downtown core, a 22 floor building of which the school occupies the first 11 floors. The hidden training facility is concealed between the 5th and 6th floors, though it is primarily on the 6th. The school has capacity for 2,500 students.

Elevators and Stairs
There are two sets of two elevators on the northwest and southeast of DMHS to service the school for all 11 floors it occupies. Students may also use stairways on the northeast and southeast to move between levels.
Professionals working in upper floors of the tower use an alternate lobby on the north face of the tower, with its own dedicated express elevator to reach the Commercial Lobby on the 16th floor. There are emergency stairwells which go through all levels of the tower, however, they cannot be accessed without tripping an alarm, and are monitored by cameras.
There is a large service elevator on the main and second floors which services the drama department's movement of items to the theater stage. A teacher key is required to operate it.
