So in my last blog I discussed that anyone who visits or goes to Discovery Park should never worry if a real bad rainstorm hits. Discovery Park has a basement which can be used to house students and faculty at the time of the bad weather. In this blog I will discuss why no one should ever worry about nuclear war while at Discovery Park.
In my last blog I also mentioned to everyone my roommate told me what he had to do while he was at Discovery Park this past Monday during the bad weather. What I did not mention was that after my roommate told of me of what happened I gave him a little bit of history and information about Discovery Park. Discovery Park used to be owned by Texas Instruments back in the late 80’s as a facilities manufacturing plant. This can still be seen by some of the features around Discovery Park such as the indoor gardens located throughout the building. Texas Instruments later left the facility and it became vacant for some time. In 2004, the facility was opened to the College of Engineering and now all engineering departments are at Discovery Park.
In regards to why Discovery Park is nuclear safe, the building was required to be designed such that it could take a nuclear blast and it is also rumored to be the 4th safest place for the president to go in case of a nuclear disaster. The basement at Discovery Park contains two levels. The first basement level is a great place for anyone looking to shoot a horror movie because of it being dimly lit and containing nothing but long hallways. The second basement level cannot be accessed. While I do not know the exact reason as to why the second basement level cannot be accessed, one reason I heard was from a parent whose child I gave a tour to of Discovery Park. The parent worked for a company in the defense industry and said the second level of the basement contained dangerous chemicals that were used by the previous owner to make missiles. Though a lot of rumors exist about Discovery Park one sure thing is you’ll get a Great Education!
So anyone scared of being caught in a nuclear war at Discovery Park need not worry, it will protect you.
Fight the Good Fight
Ya Boy Archie Wright!
