Planetarium Progress Nears April 15 in Reno
The Charles and Henriette Fleischmann Atmospherium Planetarium near Reno is nearing completion by April 15. Architect Raymond Hellman and engineer Victor Lamberti oversaw a curved hyperbolic paraboloid roof built from straight elements. The facility will feature a 36 foot dome, two classrooms, a book counter, an auditorium for 100 to 150, and a solar heat system with a large water tank. The second phase installs nearly $100,000 of instruments including a Spitz projector and a sky dome, with a moving sound system for atmospheric physics and astronomy demonstrations. The University of Nevada anticipates a landmark educational venue for students and the public.
