On November 21, a devastating fire erupted at the historic Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe. Located on Long Island in New York State (USA), the Center is the last remaining laboratory of visionary inventor Nikola Tesla. More than 100 firefighters courageously fought the blaze, which caused serious structural damage to this one-of-a-kind treasure.
We urgently need your financial support.
The facility is now being thoroughly assessed by engineers to determine the full extent of fire-related damages. According to Mark Thaler, the Center’s historical architect, “Despite the valiant efforts of the first responders, the laboratory is sadly, still at great risk.”
The historic laboratory complex has been in the early stages of an ambitious, $20-million restoration and redevelopment program that would transform the former working laboratory into a global innovation center, an educational facility, and a museum.
But now, because of this major fire, the redevelopment program has just become far more complicated -- and far more expensive. Our $3-million fundraising campaign will help us cover the costs of emergency remediation.
