US Olympic & Paralympic Museum – Diller Scofidio + Renfro

US Olympic & Paralympic Museum – Diller Scofidio + Renfro

2022

Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the US Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs is conceived as one of the most accessible museums in the world. Shaped by four aluminum-clad volumes spiraling around a central atrium, the structure invites visitors to descend seamlessly along a continuous ramp that unifies the gallery experience.

Inspired by movement and inclusion, the design prioritizes equal access for all. From smooth wheelchair-friendly flooring and low-height glass guardrails to cane-compatible seating and barrier-free sightlines, every detail reflects extensive consultation with Paralympians and people with disabilities.
