The new Waterdome

Tearing apart the old Wall Plaza started in June 2006 and the original Waterdome was ununcovered. The project was finished in October 2007 and the grand opening of the Waterdome was October 25th, 2007. We have many visitors who want to see this unique Wright creation. The Waterdome is on a schedule when the fountains are on.
