Where can I set up Starlab?
Starlab is a large dome that can be easily set up in a school gym or drama room – any space with a high ceiling. Starlab requires a large (7 x 7 x 4 metre or 23 x 23 x 12.5 feet), clean, indoor area with access to two 110 volt outlets. If the area is not suitable for setting up Starlab, the HR MacMillan Space Centre staff will request a more suitable environment. If Starlab requires cleaning because of the space provided, a cleaning fee will be charged.
