Background
History
The Dome as a concept was first conceived in 1985, by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council under the Standardised Approach to Sports Halls (SASH) programme. The aim of the project was to inject capital and confidence into the community of Doncaster. The Dome was to act as a catalyst for the economic and qualitative regeneration of Doncaster – at a time when the economic climate of Doncaster was depressed, the Dome was to herald a new age.
Architecture
The building was designed by architect Faulkner Brown, and work was underway by November 1986, taking a little under three years for completion with the building officially being declared 'finished' in August 1989. The building was officially opened by Diana, Princess of Wales on 26 November 1989. In total, the project cost £26 million. It was designated as a Grade II listed building on 25 October 2023.
