Use our venue

The Wits Anglo American Digital Dome is a prime venue conveniently located within the University of the Witwatersrand. The existing Wits Planetarium has been refurbished and digitised with a new, state-of-the-art digital projection system and auditorium seating as the Digital Dome. This new facility is expected to grow within an entrepreneurial context to ensure its future sustainability as an accessible, inspirational, world-class centre.

The Dome has a seating capacity of about 210. Apart from the immersive cross-disciplinary full-dome shows with surround sound, the venue can be used for workshops, public lectures, seminars, and corporate events like product launches. The projector system can also display the client's presentations in full-dome or standard presentation modes using a subset of the projectors, provided the client approaches the Dome team to integrate external presentations to the Dome well in advance.

In addition, the new expansion of the facility has a reconfigurable seminar room/boardroom for 30 people for conferences, lectures and workshops. The foyer and patio area on two floors of the premises can be used for interactive sessions, socialising and catering. The Dome, seminar room, and the other areas of the Digital Dome premises can be booked individually or in combination as venues for different-sized functions, from academic and corporate workshops to year-end functions and cocktail evenings. Each event can be combined with an existing, genuinely exceptional full-dome immersive show, making the Digital Dome a unique venue for a memorable experience. Please contact us for catering options through University of Witwatersrand approved vendors and any other queries.
