Sixth Form Colleges

Colleges tend to use their domes for multipurpose activities ranging from outdoor classrooms and shelters to elegant display and gallery structures.

Solardomes can also be used to create a specialist environment away from the main buildings for science and engineering projects, environmental studies, horticulture and technology.

Solardomes also create a unique setting for special occasions. Why not use it as a stylish reception area for special events, a music centre or as a display area for college artwork?

The Solardome is also the ideal structure for studying the work of American inventor, Richard Buckminster Fuller. He demonstrated that the geodesic dome is the ultimate way of enclosing space and is the strongest structure available.

Bring organic chemistry to life by investigating how the geodesic shape is replicated in nature in the family of carbon molecules called "fullerenes", after the geodesic dome inventor.
