Monolithic Dome Childcare Center

2024: South Industries completes construction of the Kickapoo Community Childcare Center using a Transition Ring Airform from Monolithic.

The center’s directors built this new Monolithic Dome because they hated rushing scared children from their classrooms to the previous tornado shelter whenever the tornado warning sirens sounded.

Mary Walker, Program Coordinator for Kickapoo said of the dome, “Now the children won’t have to run and hide. They won’t be scared. That’s the main thing. We can carry on with our lessons.”
