With the opening of the Telluride Innovation Center in July 2024—our first permanent home—we’ve already expanded scientific programming by 20% and created a vital gathering space for our community.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we have already completed 95% of our $13.5M goal, with just $703,000 left to raise. Your gift —at any level—will help us close the final gap and ensure this remarkable space continues to inspire collaboration and spark innovation for generations to come.
During Colorado Gives, we are striving to raise $25,000 to put towards the capital campaign. We invite you to help us get one step closer to crossing the finish line.
Our purpose is to advance scientific knowledge and bring together global thought leaders to solve societal and planetary challenges. Annually, we host 50+ workshops across the fields of biomedical science, energy, material science, climate, quantum computing, and fundamental science. Scientists, including Nobel Laureates, represent 400+ institutions annually.
Though Telluride Science was established in 1984, it never had a permanent home and operated primarily out of the Telluride middle school during the summer months.
A permanent facility was a dream of Telluride Science for many years. That vision turned into a reality when a group of generous donors enabled the organization to purchase the historic Depot in October 2020 to transform the iconic building into the Innovation Center. Renovations started in December 2022 and concluded in just 18 months with a grand opening in July 2024. The project was on time and budget.
The Center now serves as a permanent year-round home for Telluride Science and is once again a hub of important exchange. Where once precious minerals were shipped out from the beautiful Telluride box canyon, we continue to export ideas that will change the world.
