Inquiring minds of children of all ages and adults from small colleges to prestigious universities consistently E-mail Monolithic from around the globe requesting information regarding Monolithic Domes to fulfill a wide variety of academic assignments.

Requests for information range from simple science projects to engineering dissertations and thesis, architectural projects and interior design assignments.

We often respond to the inquiry by sending an Introductory Video, an Image CD and a color brochure. However, first and foremost, we suggest that students spend a considerable amount of time browsing our website. Information from our site is extensive and can be printed, copied and used in presentations. In most cases, our website contains more information than most students can possibly handle. We receive over 3 million hits a month which displays an extremely high level of interest and our site offers a wide variety of topics relating to all aspects of dome construction.

Here are just a few of the requests we've answered from people all over the world:

Architectural modeling
