Dome housing can easily be acclimatized. Dome housing can easily be used for innovative purposes. One of the innovative purpose is as a dome village or an all purpose building. The all-purpose building is excellent for employee recreation, for meetings, and for training employees. This structure will pay for itself in its daily, even hourly usage by increasing efficiency.

The buildings can be transformed into offices, workstations, and even training areas... They can be used for storage of delicate instruments, computers, etc. They are not limited to sleeping areas only.
