It is a tholos constructed out of wood, fiberglass, various non ferromagnetic metals, glass and concrete . He built the structure in Landers, California (near Joshua Tree) as a "rejuvenation machine" supposedly following instructions provided by visitors from the planet Venus. The structure was financed predominantly by donations, including funds from Howard Hughes.

Following Van Tassel's death in 1978, the building was owned by a series of individuals (and was left in various states of disrepair) before being purchased by sisters Joanne, Nancy, and Patty Karl in the early 2000s. The sisters now promote The Integratron as an "acoustically perfect structure" and say that it is currently being "explored in the areas of Science, Architecture, Neuroacoustics, Music, Energy healing, Alternative health and Spirituality." The building is currently open to the public at select times, with the sisters regularly performing "sound baths" (meditation-like sessions accompanied by tones from quartz bowls) at certain points during the week.
