GNR building plaza

GNR Building Plaza is a building in Washington, D.C. It is home to the radio broadcast of the same name, and also functions as a Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel stronghold.

Background
 The massive, concrete shell of Galaxy News Network's radio company weathered the nuclear storm on 2077 well. Although the building suffered damage through deterioration, most of it remained intact. Surprisingly intact, even, as in 2272 Three Dog and Margaret moved in who, in return for protection and tech support, gave the Brotherhood access to the Galaxy News Radio plaza and spoke well of the Brotherhood. From that point onward, it became a Brotherhood stronghold in the DC sea of ruins, doubling as a propaganda radio station for Lyons. 

Exterior
The Galaxy News Radio building and GNR Plaza are located in the Chevy Chase district. The first and easiest way is to make your way to Farragut West Station and go through the utility tunnels. After a brief fight with some ghouls, the player should find themselves in the Tenleytown/Friendship station tunnels. Following the tracks to the Tenleytown half (go right), the player will find two super mutants fighting Lyons' Pride in an alley.

GNR Plaza is the focus point of a battle between super mutants and the Brotherhood of Steel. The area consists of a sculptured fountain in the center and a caved-in metro entrance. The entrance to the station itself is fortified with sandbags and several Brotherhood members stand post at the steps and at balconies off to the side. During the quest one of the five known super mutant behemoths will spawn.

Interior
The main lobby of GNR is heavily fortified with sandbags and other barricades as well as several named Brotherhood of Steel members armed with flamers, missile launchers, and laser rifles. To the left and right are doors leading to the balconies outside as well as some bathrooms. There are some first aid boxes and ammunition boxes scattered throughout the lobby.

Upstairs are some offices and the recording studio, and where Three Dog resides. Another door leads to the back exit, which is a one-way door.

Notable loot

 * Big Book of Science located in the GNR Studios near a red chair. This book must be stolen.
 * A dead Brotherhood of Steel Paladin with a Fat Man and 8 mini nukes is found outside GNR during the encounter with the super mutant behemoth, if Sarah Lyons is with you; he will not be there otherwise.
