Rockefeller Military Research Center is a government research facility established in 1981.
History[]
The Rockefeller Military Research Center contained "Special Talent Quarters" where Doctor Manhattan was working on new technology for the government after the Keene Act was passed. Laurie Juspeczyk who never liked the costumed adventurer business, and had an affair with Manhattan, was also there as she was employed to keep company to him and maintain his touch with humanity.
The center had a workshop and living quarters for the two former heroes, and presumably camp and barracks. Although it was guarded in tight security, Rorschach managed to break into the research center after the Comedian's death, to find his former colleagues. Osterman explains how he has no reason to care for human life, and Juspeczyk expresses her hatred for the Comedian.
During Manhattan's appearance on Benny Anger's show and the allegations that his presence causes cancer to humans, his living quarters were marked with a radiation trefoil. After Manhattan left for Mars, Juspeczyk had no reason to be there, and was eventually evicted.
