The Navy Bomb Disposal School, was a World War II era U.S. naval training installation built on American University property in Washington, D.C.
During World War II, American University allowed the U.S. Navy to use part of its campus for bomb disposal training.[1] In 1993, a construction worker stumbled upon some of the buried munitions. This led to major cleanup efforts in the 1990s[2] and 2000s (decade) on the site, which included a corner of the university and several neighboring residences.[1]
