Unique construction process; Lower costs — A Crenosphere costs less to build because of its construction process. A net of cables with a diameter slightly smaller than the Airform’s diameter is spread over the outside of the Airform. This forces the fabric of the Airform to pooch or pillow out between the cables, giving the Crenosphere its quilted or indented look.

Supreme practicality — A Crenosphere can provide a high school or college with an indoor sport facility that can be used daily for a variety of activities in a healthy, safe, temperature-controlled environment. Such a super-strong structure can also serve as the school’s or community’s disaster shelter.
