Abstract: This paper shows that there is a mapping class group equivariant deformation retraction of the Teichm"uller space of a closed, orientable surface onto a cell complex of dimension equal to the virtual cohomological dimension of the mapping class group. The image of the deformation retraction is a subcomplex of the CW complex first described by Thurston -- the Thurston spine. The Thurston spine is the set of points in Teichm"uller space corresponding to hyperbolic surfaces for which the set of shortest geodesics (the systoles) cuts the surface into polygons.
