A feature video presentation is being developed for the GeoDome by biologist Scot Duncan.
The exterior of the building was re-landscaped with stormwater mitigation terraces and the roof enhanced with plantings. A future phase of the project will convert the former planetarium's lower-level classroom into a virtual reality laboratory. The $1 million renovation was expected to be completed in 2018.
