In response to Bill Clinton’s desire to “put things in the light”, the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Center will be a vibrant place, accessible, highly visible and mutable. The main building takes the form of a glass bridge symbolizing President Clinton’s theme of “Building a Bridge to the 21st Century.”

This 165,000-sf (15,000-sm) project houses archive and exhibit spaces, and the Clinton Foundation Headquarters. The site also includes the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service and a 28-acre recreational park. At the center of the project is the Bridge (Museum) Building, which houses exhibits that are dedicated to Mr. Clinton's presidency, his life and times. The 420-ft (130-m) long glass-enclosed Museum Building hovers above the ground while cantilevering out 90-ft (27-m) at both ends.
