Construction Begins on Exterior of Spaceship Earth at EPCOT

There are construction walls up next to Spaceship Earth in EPCOT, likely for work on the new Spaceship Earth lounge set to open this year.

Spaceship Earth Lounge Construction Walls

Construction barriers with green panels are set up outside a white building. Two waste bins are nearby, and a few people can be seen in the background.

The construction walls are on the side of Spaceship Earth facing Connections Cafe (Starbucks). They block one entrance to Project Tomorrow. There’s a low wall in front of a taller wall or fence covered in green scrim. A pair of trash cans sit in front of the walls.

Behind the short wall, green scrim extends over supports.

Inside Project Tomorrow, the exit is blocked by black curtains. An A-frame sign instructs guests to exit on the opposite side of the building.

A dimly lit hallway with a closed black door marked as a panic room. A green light indicator and an emergency alarm button are mounted nearby.

The new Spaceship Earth lounge is replacing the former private Siemens corporate lounge. The entrance is in this area, behind a door that currently has a “Cast Members Only” sign. Construction work in the area will likely make the lounge entrance more obvious and accessible.

The new Spaceship Earth lounge will open before the summer of 2025. It will have geometric shapes inspired by Spaceship Earth, rich textures, and warm metallic tones. Disney has described it as a “zen space for families to gather and enjoy refreshments.”
