Human Resources indicated that the interview process had vetted many viable candidates for the position. Vault 114 personnel interviewed individuals for the overseer position with the goal of finding someone with no supervisory or government experience and strong anti-authority bias. Dining and bathing would be in shared quarters, and amenities would be minimal.

Multiple families, chosen randomly, were to live and sleep in single-room apartments. Įven though the initial residents were of upper social status, the "luxury" aspect of the Vault was highly exaggerated to the future residents.

Future members of the Vault were also made aware that they would be cohabiting solely with others of similar wealth and power.

Only high-ranking members of local and state government, local luminaries, and business people were accepted as part of the social experiment. Accessed through Park Street station, Vault 114 was primarily intended to house Boston's upper class and their families.
