golden dome
Gleaming rooftop hemisphere
Golden dome refers to a prominent architectural feature—a dome covered in gold leaf or gold-colored material, typically crowning important buildings like state capitols, religious structures, or universities.
The term often serves as a metonym for the institution itself: decisions made under the golden dome, lobbyists gathered at the golden dome.
Notre Dame's administration building features perhaps the most famous American example, making the Golden Dome synonymous with that university.
