Discovery Park, commonly nicknamed "D-Park," is a research satellite about a fifteen-minute bus ride north of the main UNT campus, for computer science and engineering classes, labs, and research. Though "park" is in its name, D-Park is essentially a gigantic indoor campus, all within one building. To demonstrate the sheer size of the place, the facility contains multiple food courts and cafés, a library, and study areas. Honestly speaking, D-Park looks like a sad warehouse from the outside.
