Oed V Facilities
To fully appreciate the OED as a visitor or potential colonist you should view the state of the art facilities that form an integral part of life under the Dome.
Government Building
This recently built facility dominates the skyline of the OED and sits in the centre of the city in the luxurious surrounding of Sloane Square, the central square dedicated to the memory of the late inaugural Governor of the colony.
Sloane Square contains a large park environment, but the thoroughfare links the various districts of the OED forming a busy hub to the colony. It is only a short distance from Sloane Square to access the amenities, such as the shops and the Space-port.
The Government Building is a unique amalgam of civilian and military government offices. Within the structure there is a medical centre, council offices and chambers, climate control, the office of the Head of Police. On the top floor is the Governor’s Office alongside that of his deputy the Lieutenant Governor.
The Government Building is a state of the art facility only constructed within the last year as part of the rebuilding project. The tallest building in the colony, it houses the latest in technology, it also provides the latest in emergency facilities with a five level emergency bunker, with medical and crisis command centre.
This building represents the future of the OED. Modern and uniting the best traits of civilian and military foundation.
Sacred Heart Hospital
When the original hospital was destroyed in the earthquakes that threatened to destroy the colony, plans were drawn up for a replacement. A temporary facility was provided and later replaced by the medical centre in the Government Building.
Unveiled last year the hospital is a leading centre for treatment and for research. Built close to the Government Building, the hospital provides excellent services to the community and to Star-fleet. As a research and teaching hospital it will train the next generation of OED medical staff as well as create the centre for medical exploration within the bounds of Fleet 6.
Rabbitus Memorial School
Any colony with a family focus requires school facilities for the children and for the future. OED V is no exception.
In the rebuilding plan a new state of the art School facility and campus was designed and approved. The idea was to house all learning on one large site. Children from pre school through to high school are able to be educated in one purpose built campus with the facilities that are required.
Adult learning is encouraged and the school houses the OED’s adult learning and teaching centre as well as the colony main library complex.
Sited not far from the residential district and named for one of the people who helped make the OED what it is today, the Rabbitus Memorial School occupies a huge campus site. Much of this site is still under development, including the sports fields and stadium. However there is yet more designated campus site available for future expansion.
Although the majority of the school buildings are in operation, the rest of the site is scheduled to finish construct within the next year. For further details or to see the architect model of the final design, please visit the Government Building.
Residential District
The OED V residential district is formed along a simple premise. Keep it simple and keep it pretty. The colonial apartment buildings are built to meet the needs of an ever expanding population but to blend into the surroundings. New parks and boulevards have been created within the OED residential area, providing areas for people to walk, explore and celebrate life under the Dome.
When the first phase of the residential rebuilding project is completed the OED will be a desirable and affordable place to live.
Future expansion plans allow for houses further away from the OED.
