'''Sector D'''''Half-Life'' is one of the seven main CategoryBlack Mesa Sectors|SectorsFileTram map 01.png|Black Mesa Transit System map of the Black Mesa Research Facility. It is connected to the Yellow Line of the Black Mesa Transit System.
==Administration Center==
{{Main|Office Complex (chapter)}}
The Administration Center''Half-Life'', sentences.txt is a location featured in ''Half-Life'' in the chapter ''Office Complex''. It is a large underground complex where the bureaucratic aspects of Black Mesa's upkeep take place along with some limited research. The floors are mostly covered with black and white tiles placed in a checkerboard fashion, typical of the area.

==Silo D==
{{Main|Blast Pit}}
Silo D is a location featured in ''Half-Life'' in the chapter ''Blast Pit''. It is a large abandoned Cold War era missile silo that houses the Experimental Propulsion Laboratory used for testing rocket engines. It is connected to the High Security Materials Storage Area by an old decommissioned rail system. It houses three silos.
Silo D-01, Engine Testing (green-coded) is located in the middle of the silo. It is the largest and most important of the three. This is where the engines are actually tested. Three huge Tentacle creatures occupy the silo. The other two silos are directly connected to this silo, and can be only accessed through here.
Silo D-02, Power Facility (green-coded) provides energy to Silo D-01 and is accessed through the lowest door of the central chamber. Silo D-03, Wind Tunnel (yellow-coded) contains a huge propeller and is accessed from the upper door inside Silo D-01. The nearby Fuel Room contains the fuel and oxygen reserves provided for the Silo D-01 engines.
