Although not on the laboratory, movement is once again happening on the grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renovations started on another existing building on the Wardenclyffe property that will eventually house the new Eugene Sayan Visitor Center, according to a recent newsletter. Construction is expected to be completed by early summer 2026, and the center will be open on Fridays and Saturdays. As announced back in 2023, the visitor center project was funded by donations from Softheon CEO Eugene Sayan, the Ludwick Foundation, National Grid, Suffolk County, New York State Economic Development and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt its heart, Tesla Science Center is dedicated to preserving Nikola Tesla\u2019s past, present and future legacy,\u201d interim executive director Douglas Borge said in a release. \u201cThis visitor center will help us live that mission every day. It is one step on the journey, and we are so grateful to everyone who has made it possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"622\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-128677\" data-id=\"128677\" src=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter2_BC-1024x622.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter2_BC-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter2_BC-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter2_BC-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter2_BC.jpg 1090w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Credit: Alina Wilczynski<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"645\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-128678\" data-id=\"128678\" src=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter3_BC-1024x645.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter3_BC-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter3_BC-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter3_BC-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/R20250918_TeslaCenter3_BC.jpg 1113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Credit: Alina Wilczynski<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The new center will have 2,200 square feet of indoor space and outdoor areas, and will provide opportunities for expanded programming, including historical tours and docent training that follow Smithsonian standards. Also, it will help the growth of STEAM programs \u2014 science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics \u2014 for community schools, libraries and events.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will also be an exhibition and preservation space for archives and artifacts, which will be the center\u2019s first. Administrative offices will be there to try to reduce operating costs and direct more resources to programs and further restoration. Above all, it will act as a consistent place for members and visitors to connect with Nikola Tesla\u2019s story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spring 2023, the nonprofit foundation that runs the science center began work on a $20 million project to preserve Tesla\u2019s last remaining laboratory and redevelop the 16-acre property into a world-class science center. The foundation had then raised $14 million toward the $20 million goal \u2014 including $1 million from Elon Musk, who named his company after the inventor \u2014 when the project got underway.
