Some of the facilities will be domed and some will not. It will depend on the purpose of the facility. It is very likely that you will not have to wear spacesuits inside any facilities, unless they are designed to not contain an artificial atmosphere for some reason. There are likely to be a variety of methods to get from one facility to another. Some will be connected by way of underground tunnels or above ground enclosed bridges. In some cases, there will be various types of transportation systems to get from one facility to another—perhaps small shuttles holding three to six passengers, personal space traveling suits or systems for just one or two people, and larger shuttle vehicles that will hold six or more passengers.
