Chicago-based architecture firm Studio Gang<\/a> has been selected to renovate and expand the Clinton Presidential Center, a library<\/a> and museum in Little Rock, Arkansas<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studio Gang<\/a> was chosen by The Clinton Foundation<\/a>, a non-profit organisation founded by former US president Bill Clinton, to expand the programming of the current building.<\/p>\n

The program also calls for the creation of a new Hillary Rodham Clinton Institute to house the former first lady and secretary of state’s personal archives.<\/p>\n

Situated next to the Arkansas River, the current site includes a number of historical and contemporary structures, including the main building, a five-storey ultra-modern elongated structure designed by American studio Polshek Partnership (now Ennead Architects<\/a>) in 2004.<\/p>\n

The main building cantilevers towards the river and features an event space, a restaurant, a penthouse for the Clintons and a private rooftop garden.<\/p>\n

High environmental standards<\/strong><\/p>\n

While no designs have been released, the foundation noted that the expansion will build on its “record of sustainable design”, citing that it was “among the first” LEED-certified buildings in the state.<\/p>\n

“The Clinton Presidential Center was built to set a new standard for environmental performance,” said Studio Gang founder Jeanne Gang.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to be working with the Clinton Foundation to advance that legacy, while also strengthening the Clinton Center’s role as a welcoming hub for cultivating a new generation of global leaders.”<\/p>\n

More design details will be released in 2024, according to the foundation, which also noted that Studio Gang will collaborate with local studio Polk Stanley Wilcox<\/a> on the expansion.<\/p>\n
