NERV ANIMA's residential quarters had no aboveground section. All employees lived in the Underground City, while key personnel were housed right around the base.
The residential quarters fell under ANIMA's Logistics Department and connected to key areas such as the command center, EVA hangars, and Central Dogma District through internal passages.

All four EVA angel pilots lived here, mainly to look after the other
