Apologies if this was raised when the series started, but I felt the need to put this out there and get some ideas going:
That big dome is easily the largest single structure on the whole of Destiny. The pyramid shaped thing is bigger but that is several levels and seems to be divided up, although it is not yet clear whether it has been explored or is currently occupied. But by the number of portholes it is clearly not one big room.
The dome however is one big room, as we saw in the Pilot. I am really looking forward to when someone goes in there in a spacesuit so we can see just what it is used for, although I am not sure how it will be fixed given that massive hole in the bulkhead, but anything is possible. Here is my suggestion:
A repair bay for the shuttles.
I was re-watching the pilot and looking at it on pause and it struck me that if it is circular in design this could be because whatever goes in the middle of the circle is either very important (like a conference room or meeting place) or because it requires access from all sides.

The area of the circle is large enough for one of the shuttles to park in, and I think that either the floor retracts or acts like some kind of elevator for a lower level or the roof splits open like the petals on a flower. It probably won't work right now with the gaping hole, but if it could be repaired then maybe this will allow the crew to fly a damaged shuttle into the dome area, seal up after it and then conduct external repairs in a safe environment - without having to put on a suit and go outside.
What do you think? Anybody have any other ideas on what the dome could be intended for?
