Title
Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute (CDRI)
Description
The Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute was incorporated in January of 1974 as an independent non-profit, scientific and educational organization by a number of concerned professionals. The purpose of the organization is to expedite scientific investigation pertaining to the natural sciences and the Chihuahuan Desert region and to create public awareness of the natural phenomena to be found here. While maintaining its independence, the Institute works closely with a number of colleges, universities, institutions, and organizations. The organization has its roots in nearby Sul Ross State University and enjoys a close and very special working relationship with this institution of higher learning.
Building in Alpine. From 1974-1983, through the generosity and support of the Alpine Independent School District, who leased the facility to CDRI at the rate of $1.00 per year, the Centennial School Building served as headquarters for operations.
In 1983, the old school was sold and the CDRI moved to Honors Hall on the campus of Sul Ross State University. While headquartered on the Sul Ross State University campus, the Institute conducted its activities from Honors Hall (1983-1991), and later from the Barton Warnock Science Building (1991-1997).
