Everything about William J Clinton Presidential Library totally explained
The
William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park includes the Clinton
presidential library and the offices of the Clinton Foundation and the
University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, established by
Bill Clinton, the 42nd
President of the United States.
Located within a newly built
Little Rock, Arkansas city park, the facility, designed by architect
James Polshek and museum design firm
Ralph Appelbaum Associates, cantilevers over the
Arkansas River, echoing Clinton's campaign promise of "building a bridge to the
21st century."
While the physical building is the second-largest presidential library after the
Ronald Reagan Library, the archives of the Clinton Library are the largest, containing two million photographs, 80 million pages of documents, 21 million e-mail messages, and nearly 80,000 artifacts from the Clinton presidency. The museum showcases artifacts from Clinton's term and includes full-scale replicas of the Clinton-era
Oval Office and Cabinet Room. The
Clinton School of Public Service is also located on the site.
The park is a leading example of
urban renewal. It was built on the site of abandoned railroad tracks of the defunct
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. The public service school is housed in a former passenger train terminal. A railroad bridge across the
Arkansas River, leading to
North Little Rock, is in the process of being converted into a pedestrian bridge, although the project has been delayed several times.
Opened on
November 18,
2004, the Clinton Presidential Center cost $165 million to construct and covers 150,000 square feet (14,000 m²) within a 28-acre (113,000 m²) park.
