In 2018, Colorado Springs, Colo. will be home to two Olympic-affiliated facilities: The existing U.S. Olympic Training Center, and the upcoming U.S. Olympic Museum, the first (and only) of its kind in the country.

Preliminary Design Concept for the United States Olympic Museum: Plaza View.
On Thursday, New York–based Diller Scofidio + Renfro unveiled renderings for the 60,000-square-foot facility. The design, spiraling upwards from a central atrium, draws inspiration from the movement of athletes. In addition to 20,000 square feet of exhibit space, the building will house a state-of-the-art theater, a broadcast studio, a gift shop, and a café. Richard Celeste, the museum’s board president, has high hopes it will become one of the nation’s must-see attractions.
