Geodome At Southern Environmental Center Will Transport Students To Alabama’s Natural Wonders

By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

For more than 20 years the Southern Environmental Center (SEC) at Birmingham-Southern College has taught young people from the region’s urban communities about the nature around them and how they can help to preserve the beauty and natural resources of Alabama.

Now students visiting the center, many of whom have never traveled outside the city, will be able to take a high-definition, virtual tour of natural wonders across Alabama, right inside the new “Geodome” on the college campus.

College officials and SEC supporters last week cut the ribbon on the Geodome, a high-tech environmental theater situated in what was once the college planetarium. The Geodome is just a few short steps from the Southern Environmental Center’s popular exhibit and learning space.Those attending the ribbon-cutting also got a sneak peak at the capabilities of the Geodome’s 4K video-projection capabilities and its IMAX-quality sound system.
