The Notice of Commencement is for “General Construction” at 2060 Avenue of the Stars, the address for the EPCOT icon. It contracts Engineering Design Solutions. Like most construction permits, it expires in one year, on June 30, 2026.

Spaceship Earth will be closed for routine maintenance beginning on August 25, 2025. It will reopen later this year, although a date is not yet available.

The adults-only bar is located in the former Siemens corporate lounge attached to Project Tomorrow. Read our review of every GEO-82 menu item and check out our full tour of GEO-82.
