The George W. Bush Presidential Center will be located on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and will house the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, the George W. Bush Policy Institute, and the offices of the George W. Bush Foundation. The George W. Bush Presidential Library will be the official archive of President and Mrs. Bush's presidential and gubernatorial records, as well as the papers of cabinet members and key decision makers within the administration. The museum will tell the story of the Bush presidency within the context of the historic challenges of the first decade of the 21st century and how President and Mrs. Bush worked to advance the core governing principles of freedom, opportunity, responsibility and compassion. The George W. Bush Policy Institute will advance these core governing principles through research, discussion and scholarship. The Institute will operate independently of SMU but will leverage opportunities for collaboration with SMU faculty and students to enhance the Institute’s efforts. The site of the Bush Presidential Center occupies a prime location in the heart of a rapidly growing urban city in the middle of the country. Located just five miles north of downtown Dallas on approximately 25 acres on the SMU campus, the Bush Presidential Center will overlook the downtown skyline of Dallas and serve as the eastern entrance to the university campus. DFW Airport, a major international airport, and Love Field regional airport will provide easy access to the Bush Presidential Center. Local visitors may access the Bush Presidential Center from Dallas North Central Expressway or by using the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system, with two DART stations located within one mile of the site. |
