The design for the Domes was developed at a symposium of architects, educators, and psychologists.
Annemarie believed that a round shape would feel like a hug to the young children for whom it was designed.

A replacement Trojan horse was dedicated in 2006. Dick Cruger, seen here with students in 2018, designed the original and the new Horse.
The Birmingham campus is located in the former Adams Elementary School, which was built in 1921.
Roeper purchased this closed school in 1981 as a home for its Middle and Upper Schools.
Numerous upgrades, including the renovation of the courtyard into an extensive Library and Commons, have made this building a hub for young adults.
