About Collision Works

Collision Works creates spaces that bring people together and uses personal stories to build empathy. The result is resilient communities. Stories connect us, help us learn, and motivate – a catalyst for personal and community growth.

This community development project consists of a public event space, collaborative work areas, a mentoring program, and a soon to be developed 46-room hotel made of recycled shipping containers. It is founded on a hybrid profit/non-profit mixed-use model and designed for sustainability. It is also designed to be fun. Yes, fun!

We hope you'll join us!
