2. Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Lab Transforming into Global Science Center
Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe (TSCW) was awarded the Save
America’s Treasures (SAT)
grant of $500,000 from the National Parks Service and National Endowment
of the Arts that will be used
to preserve the laboratory of inventor Nikola Tesla and restore it into
a museum and global science center.
The $500,000 in funds is critical to ensure the exterior stabilization
and restoration of the circa 1901 laboratory
building at Wardenclyffe. The structure is an international landmark
with historic significance as the only surviving laboratory of science
visionary Nikola Tesla; it is recognized as one of the key sites in global
technology history for its part in the science, aerospace,
telecommunications, and research hub that
emerged in the Long Island / New York corridor. Mr. Tesla immigrated to
America’s shores and made world-altering discoveries right here in New
York. Tesla Science Center is working each day to educate the public and
preserve Tesla’s legacy, and these much-needed federal funds will help
fulfil that mission.”
