Sawmill
The Sawmill is one of the more prominent buildings in the Soviet Installation of Rise of the Tomb Raider. It is located almost exactly in the centre of that Location's map.
Lara reaches the Sawmill for the first time shortly after she met the Remnant General. He gives her a Mission called Communications Breakdown where she has to destroy Communication Towers. One of those is located at the Sawmill. There is also on Soviet star on top of the building, a Strongbox in the attic, as well as some more miscellaneous Pickups.
From the Sawmill Lara has easy access to the rest of the Hub Level: To the east lies the old Soviet Mine, to the north-west the Gulag, and in the south there is the Logging Camp Base Camp with the hut of the Remnant General. Right next to the Sawmill there is the entrance to the Challenge Tomb called Ancient Cistern which is accessible through the old well.
When Lara returns to the Soviet Installation after the game is completed she will often find scattered Trinity mercenaries lurking here and there is a pack of Wolves living in the Cave nearby.
