Athena's cabin (#6) is the cabin that houses Athena's demigod children at Camp Half-Blood. All members are "brain children" (meaning that they are born from the thoughts of the goddess), which makes them the only demigods to be claimed at birth.
Description
It is a gray building with an owl carved over the doorway and plain white curtains. In the graphic novel, Athena's cabin looks like a temple with columns, a red roof, and an owl carving on the door.
The interior has a workshop and a library, with bunk beds pushed up against the wall, designed "as if sleeping didn't matter very much". The library is filled with thousands of books and old scrolls, as well as tables and chairs for demigods to study and read. The workshop is crammed with work benches and more tables, and the cupboards are filled with materials to build things. There are also several 3-D models of buildings, blueprints, old war maps, and armors. It was later said in The Lost Hero that the cabin was also filled with SMART boards and other things typically found in classrooms.
On the side of the Athena cabin is their armory. It looked like a big metal gardening shed.
