Harvardville

A city in the United States, supposedly on the East Coast. It is very much like Raccoon City, having a population of 100,000 and housing a powerful bioresearch company, in this case WilPharma, who is conducting G-Virus and t-virus research in hopes of developing a vaccine. Due to the tragedy of Raccoon City, massive safety ventures have been undertaken to ensure Harvardville does not experience a similar viral outbreak, such as a contained, gated and isolated research facility and containment measures in the facility itself.

In 2005, Harvardville Airport was the site of an outbreak of the t-virus.

Wikipedia: Outbreak is a term used in epidemiology to describe an occurrence of disease greater than would otherwise be expected in a particular time and place.
