Join us in the Fuller Dome as we celebrate Fuller’s legacy on the 90th meridian on the 90th day. The Fuller Dome, Center for Spirituality and Sustainability is offering a schedule of special programs in collaboration with the Buckminster Fuller Institute and the Estate of Buckminster Fuller. This five-day series of events begins on Thursday, 3/27/25 and culminates on the 90th Day of the year, 3/31/25. Along with his architectural partner Shoji Sadao, Buckminster Fuller designed the miniature-earth-geoscope dome on the SIUE campus to straddle our planet’s 90th longitudinal meridian.
