The room was a large octagonal chamber set in the center of the Enrichment Center.

The room was a large octagonal chamber set in the center of the Enrichment Center, presumably near the surface. At the climax of ''[[Portal]]'', after [[Chell]] had escaped from the testing tracks, she had made her way through the entire facility in hopes of escape, instead she is led to the Central AI Chamber via a catwalk, where she is to confront [[GLaDOS]] once inside.


It would appear that GLaDOS did not intend to bring Chell to her chamber, but to take advantage, she allows Chell to destroy her [[Cores#Morality Core|Morality Core]] - which in turn breaks the restriction of her need to kill anyone directly. GLaDOS then begins pumping [[neurotoxin]], and deploys a [[Turrets#Rocket Turret|Rocket Turret]]. Eventually Chell manages to destroy all of GLaDOS' personality core attachments, which destroys GLaDOS in the process. When Chell is awakened outside in the parking lot after awakening from the destruction of the facility, it is indicated that the chamber is considerably close to the surface.
It would appear that GLaDOS did not intend to bring Chell to her chamber, but to make the most out of it, she allows Chell to destroy her [[Cores#Morality Core|Morality Core]] - which in turn breaks the restriction of her need to kill anyone directly. GLaDOS then begins pumping [[neurotoxin]] through the vents surrounding the walls of her chamber, and deploys a [[Turrets#Rocket Turret|Rocket Turret]] through a hatch beside her. GLaDOS is also surrounded by a circular bridge platform with a staircase that leads up to it, which was used by technicians as seen in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic. Behind the chamber spots an [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator]], and as its name suggests, is used to incinerate any form of artificial intelligences such as GLaDOS' personality core attachments. On the left side of the chamber spots a bunker on a platform, housing a button that would open the hatch to the aforementioned incinerator. Surrounding the walls of the chamber on each sides are large horizontally placed monitor screens that displays random images that depends on GLaDOS' thought process. Eventually, these screens were used to handle the neurotoxin countdown for when the gasses can become deadly.


Despite that most of GLaDOS' components were scattered around the parking lot, she seems to have been scattered around in the chamber again during the beginning of the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2]]''. This may have likely been the work of the [[Party Escort Bot]] that dragged Chell back into the facility for extended relaxation.
