Discovery Park is a large confusingly shaped building owned by UNT. It opened in January 2004 and is teeming with computer science and engineering students, which means that it smells like some strangely intoxicating combination of Mountain Dew and cumin.
Discovery Park, in addition to its tech-minded inhabitants, has its own cafeteria with some of the best cheeseburgers in the UNT dining system. It also has a gigantic parking lot just to put mother nature in her place.

The 300+/- acre campus was sold to UNT by Texas Instruments in November 2001 for $8.9 million. TI had originally opened the site in the early 80s, using it for a variety of military and private sector technology projects which made the company many dollars over the years.
