When Vancouver was awarded to host the transportation-themed 1986 World’s Fair (Expo 86), a Buckminster Fuller inspired geodesic dome was designed to serve as the fair’s Expo Centre with construction beginning in 1984 and being completed by early 1985. After Expo closed its gates in October of that year, an intensive lobbying campaign was launched to secure the landmark building, relocate the “Arts, Sciences and Technology Centre” into the post-expo dome, and convert the Expo Centre into Science World.
