The base of operations for the X-Men and home to the Xavier Institute, the Xavier Mansion is located at 1407 Graymalkin Lane in the town of Salem Center in New York State's Westchester County. The mansion belongs to the team's founder, Professor X, and has been in his family's possession for ten generations. A Dutch seafaring ancestor of Xavier's built it of local stone in the 1700s on the edge of Breakstone Lake.
The estate covers an extensive area (a 3-mile long, 1-mile wide plot of land) between Graymalkin Lane and Breakstone Lake. Most of the land is wooded with low hills rising to the east.
There is an Olympic-size swimming pool directly to the rear of the mansion. Elsewhere on the property are stables and a boathouse. On the side of the mansion is a hedge maze, designed by the famous mutant landscaper, Giancarlo Betto.
Through the years, the mansion has been electrified, refurbished and modernized. Many of the renovations have involved the installation and construction of facilities for use by the X-Men - including the addition of subterranean hangar buildings (which is located under the basketball court, which is retractable), the Danger Room and its support equipment and high-speed transport tunnels. Rebuilt and expanded several times during the last few years with an eye towards personal comfort, space and security, the mansion incorporates advanced alien technology provided by Lilandra of the Shi'ar.
The school started as Xavier's School for Gifter Youngsters, and was renamed to Xavier Institute after the addition of the 2nd group of New Mutants. There are rumors between the students that another renaming is on the way but nobody heard anything sure.
Defenses:
Most of the defenses are passive by nature. Rm Sensitivity alarms align the main roads and paths and surround the major buildings. The main building has In rank silent alarms on all doors and windows. If any alarm is tripped, it will be noted in security monitors in the Headmaster's Office, the Danger Room, the hangar bay, the labs and the briefing rooms.
A Very Low Frequency (VLF) antenna is buried beneath the grounds to pick up communications from around the globe and throughout outer space.
