The Lick Observatory provided a 'hands on science' site to NASA AMES. There are a number of small and relatively ancient small domes that provide grad students and others dedicated ground observing experimental facilities. One for example - became world famous as a Super Nova discovery machine (Dr. Filippenko and the Katzman). These 'small science projects' depend on dedicated, close-by facilities. Think garage start-ups.
Here are views of the little (silver) dome in question:
