Montreal Velodrome, Indoor sports facility in Olympic Park, Montreal, Canada
The Montreal Velodrome features an elliptical structure with a retractable roof system designed specifically for Olympic cycling competitions and athletic events.
The facility, completed in 1976 for the Summer Olympics, underwent a transformation in 1992 to become the Montreal Biodome housing four distinct American ecosystems.
The building serves as an educational center where visitors learn about environmental conservation through exhibits displaying various species of plants and animals.
The facility maintains controlled temperatures for each ecosystem section, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout regular operating hours.
Scientists discovered two new species within the building: Copidognathus biodomus in 1996 and Nitratireductor aquibiodomus in 2003 during research activities.
