The Board Room is a location in the Executive Sector of the Oldest House. It is a distinct subsection of Central Executive.

Background

The Board Room is an executive meeting room for the Federal Bureau of Control's administrators. During the events of Control, the Board Room is where Emily Pope stays for the entire main story after the first mission, becoming her main office for research into the Hiss.

Layout

The Board Room is a long, rectangular room constructed around a central conference table. The far eastern wall is lined with fourteen portraits, including that of Zachariah Trench and the two FBC Directors immediately preceding him. The chronological order seems to be from left to right, where new rows are placed above the older rows. A standard secured unit is also found against the east wall.

As the main story of Control advances, more and more items and supplies will be added to the Board Room, and a series of collectibles will become available. An unnamed Bureau researcher will also be present, assisting Pope.

Collectibles

These are listed in sequential order based on the earliest they can be obtained.
