The space will be utilized as a typical visitor center with gallery, resource area, educational activities, meeting room, gift shop and archival storage for the preservation of R. Buckminster Fuller documents and artifacts.

R. Buckminster Fuller, creator of the buckyball, was a professor at SIU in Carbondale in the 1960’s. At that time, he built and lived in a large buckyball home, which has been restored and will soon be a museum to the man and his legacy.

    I find it hilarious that he built his home to look like a buckyball. Its like something out of a fantasy novel where wizards build their home out of whatever materials they control.
