The GeoDome is a 50-seat educational theater in the former Meyer Planetarium building at Birmingham-Southern College. It was developed by the Southern Environmental Center as a way to showcase Alabama's geographic and biological riches. A feature video presentation is being developed for the GeoDome by biologist Scot Duncan.

The exterior of the building was re-landscaped with stormwater mitigation terraces and the roof enhanced with plantings. A future phase of the project will convert the former planetarium's lower-level classroom into a virtual reality laboratory. The $1 million renovation is expected to be completed in 2018.
