The Factory
From Code Wiki
The Factory is located in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, near Kadic. It used to be an old car factory, and was used by Franz Hopper as a base of operations in his experiments with Lyoko and Carthage. The Factory is considered to be Team Lyoko's headquarters.
The Factory is located in the middle of the Seine River, on what appears to be an artificial island. A bridge connects it to the mainland. A manhole on the bridge leads to the Sewers below; typically, members of Team Lyoko come up through this after travelling through the sewers from Kadic. The Factory can also be reached by boat; Team Lyoko used a dinghy in Plagued when XANA blocked the bridge with rats.
The building itself is occasionally used in XANA's schemes; he most often uses the Factory Floor to make things, or attack our heroes. For example, XANA used the machinery there to make a robot in the episode The Robots.
Factory Floor Plan
At ground level is the Factory Floor, which contains the entrance to the Factory Lift. Also on this floor are the machine rooms of the factory.
Above the ground floor is the upper level of the factory. This floor is normally accessed by a walkway bordering the inside of the building. The upper level is where the bridge meets the factory, and hence where the characters normally enter. To get down to the ground floor, they swing down on cables.
The Lab is the first room below the surface, and it is where Jeremie monitors Team Lyoko's progress on Lyoko. Directly below the Lab is the Scanner Room, which can also be accessed by a hatch from the Lab. The bottommost room is the Supercomputer Room, which contains the supercomputer. It is accessible using a hatch from the Scanner Room.
Real Factory
The Factory in Code: LYOKO is based off a real factory in France called the Renault automobile factory. The Factory was founded before World War II, and produced many vehichles during that time period. Later in 1992, fhe factory shut down and was abandoned, just like in the show. In 2001, Antefilms used it as the base model of the Factory in Garage Kids and later Code Lyoko (which looks near perfect as shown in the images). Unfortunately, in 2005, it was demolished to create a museum. However, the artifacts that were originally going to the art museum were later sent to a museum in Venice instead. Now all that remains is dirt and the entrance.
