Powers/Abilities/Functions: The Xavier Institute served as an educational facility for young mutants. It also served as a home for the X-Men. It was unrevealed if the Xavier Institute possessed any of the advanced technology that its Earth-616 counterpart had.

History: (X-Men Millennial Visions - "Back to School" (fb) - BTS) - Circa 2028, after some time fighting the likes of Apocalypse and Magneto, and rescuing the Shi'ar Galaxy, the X-Men opened the Xavier Institute to the public as part of the Equal Schools Act and was forced to serve its locational district due to overcrowding. With the boom in population came a boom in mutant children being born and soon, every child developed a mutation. Using Bastion's sealed findings, the government visited the Xavier Institute and sought their help in training its teachers to cope with the rising mutant population in schools. Despite being retired, the X-Men agreed, deciding that they could help the world more as teachers than fighting supervillains.

(X-Men Millennial Visions - "Back to School") - Opening their doors to an observational session called the Unity Conference, the X-Men attempted to train others to teach a new breed of mutant children but the Unity Conference proved a horrible failure, as the X-Men failed to prove their authority against the modern thirteen-year-old mutant child. Following student pranks such as Cyclops' visor being stolen, children taking Professor X's wheelchair out for a joyride, Iceman being partially melted, Nightcrawler's walker being kicked out from under him and Beast loosing his dentures trying to fend off mutant children, the elderly X-Men that managed to survive being teachers left the Xavier Institute in favor of finding new villains to fight or anything better than trying to teach high schoolers.
