7.00 Project BioDome

Hello! And Welcome!

I'm Leon Madison, the director of Project BioDome, a Self-contained Micro-Living Environment or S.Mi.L.E.

I will be coordinating your tour's activities. Here you see a mock up of the dome from the outside. Very space age, don't you think?

I have worked for several months coordinating this set of activities with the folks at BioVentures Unlimited. I would love to see regular tour groups, like yours, come to live and work with us on a regular basis. So this trial run is extremely important and it's very exciting for many reasons!

I'll tell you more about the project as we proceed. Get checked in and get your bearings. I'll meet up with you in the briefing room.

Get Started!
