Maintenance Building

The Maintenance Building is a location in Thirlcrest Academy: Scholarship Edition.

Description
The maintenance building seems like a normal run-of-the-mill building to any new student. A boiler room is stored in the building's basement, and the first floor seems anything but out of the ordinary. It has reception manned by an employee of faculty, and student mail arrives here in the mail room. The shady side of the school is more apparent here however, more clear to students than faculty, after a pact by some of the school's first graduating classes. Students enter through the backroom unbeknownst to faculty in order to access the service tunnel, which leads separately into the bazaar and an underground fighting arena.

History
The maintenance building's underground operations began around January 1990. The background behind it began with a freshman who was locked inside the back room by a group of jocks on October 13th, 1989. The student was locked in the back room for three hours until they'd been let go by the varsity members. In that time, the freshman had found the school's vacant service tunnel. Word spread about the school's service tunnel and realization came through that the area was clearly abandoned by faculty. From that day throughout winter break, all kinds of students banded together and built the underground market from the ground up in small groups to stay under faculty's nose. The graduating classes of '90, '91, '92 and '93 signed a no-snitch agreement about the operations that is acknowledged to this day.

The identity of the freshman who first founded the service tunnel is not truly known as the story is told differently every once in a while, but the most popular theory is that they were a T-Times member trying to get a scoop on a jock for an article.
