The campus of Corbulo Academy stood atop a mountain within a wooded region on Circinius IV; the surroundings of the school were used as training grounds. The main complex of the academy followed the UNSC's characteristic design aesthetic, closely reminiscent of the 20th-century style known as [[Wikipedia:Brutalist architecture|Brutalist architecture]], being composed of angular, low-rise concrete structures, walkways and spacious plazas with minimalist decoration in form of pools of water and carefully managed greenery. The academy's central building rested on a series of support pillars and enclosed a quadrangle containing a park with a decorative pool. The campus was dominated by a [[space elevator]] that stood in the middle of the buildings and was used for ferrying personnel and cargo from surface to orbit. The facility also contained several massive communications dishes and a number of large vertical-axis [[wind turbine]]s for power generation. Playing fields and other open training areas were located just outside the buildings. | The campus of Corbulo Academy stood atop a mountain within a wooded region on Circinius IV; the surroundings of the school were used as training grounds.

Many walls within the academy were adorned with the academy's insignia as well as other UNSC symbols or propaganda posters. Corbulo Academy made heavy use of the poem ''[[Forward Unto Dawn (poem)|"Forward Unto Dawn"]]'' for propaganda purposes; lines including ''"From Earth, For Earth"'' and ''"Today, Tomorrow, Forever"'' were displayed as slogans in UNSC banners across the academy and the poem itself was inscribed over the cadets' beds in the school's dormitories. A somewhat anachronistic statue of the school's namesake wielding an [[MA5 series]] assault rifle was located next to the pool within the academy's central courtyard. | Many walls within the academy were adorned with the academy's insignia as well as other UNSC symbols or [[propaganda]] posters.

The cadets' dormitory facilities consisted of corridors lined with two-person sleeping quarters, with minimalist interior decoration similar to the rest of the campus. These rooms were equipped with [[holography|holographic]] data terminals which were commonly used for accessing messages from relatives or browsing news reports, among other activities. Adjoining the dorm corridors were equipment and weapons locker rooms, showers and cryo training facilities dedicated for each squad. | The cadets' dormitory facilities consisted of corridors lined with two-person sleeping quarters, with minimalist interior decoration similar to the rest of the campus.
