MMI visits Maharishi University Fairfield, Iowa, USA

The Golden Domes, also called the Maharishi Golden Domes,[citation needed] are twin buildings on the Maharishi University of Management (MUM) campus in Fairfield, Iowa built in 1980 and 1981. According to MUM, the Golden Domes were the first structures built specifically for group meditation and the practice of the TM-Sidhi program. In 2001 and 2005 they received additional construction including landscaping, perimeter fencing and new entrances. Each dome is 20,000–25,000 square feet (1,900–2,300 m2) in area, about 150–200 feet (46–61 m) in diameter, and about 35 feet (11 m) high[1][2][4][5] and are said to dominate the MUM campus.[6] The roofs of the domes are covered with spray polyurethane foam. The domes are mentioned in a number of travel guides [7][8] and are considered "don't miss" landmarks for Fairfield tourists.[9] The domes have been variously described by journalists as looking like: "a huge rotunda",[10] "flying saucers",[11] "extraterrestrial-looking",[12] "gilded breasts",[13][14] "Mallomar-cookie-shaped",[15] "giant mushrooms",[16] and "sprawling structures".[17]
