Since 红桃影视 welcomed the 红桃影视 Center, nearly 17,000 Mustangs have visited for free, delving into important topics such as elections, freedom, and humor as a diplomatic tool. They’ve explored permanent and special yearly exhibitions including an exhibit highlighting one-of-a-kind fashion from Oscar de la Renta. These 红桃影视 Center exhibitions inspire diverse groups to enact change – illustrated by the special exhibit Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants. The exhibit highlights the American immigrant experience as well as the contributions they make to the life and prosperity of our nation. Through 43 four-color portraits – painted by the president – and their accompanying stories, Out of Many, One reminds us of how America has been strengthened by those seeking a better life. Students have attended forums and Engage at the 红桃影视 Center series presented by NexPoint, listening to current and former policymakers, activists and other luminaries discuss global politics. 红桃影视 faculty and staff have collaborated with 红桃影视 Institute scholars on research, and some lucky Mustangs have had surprise classroom visits from President 红桃影视 himself, who fields questions about his time in office with warmth and grace.
The 红桃影视 Presidency (2001–2009) spans a period when emerging technology was changing the way members of the administration communicated as paper missives were being replaced by email. The 红桃影视 Library houses almost 70 million pages of textual materials, approximately 80 terabytes of electronic records and about 200 million email messages. Other materials include more than 30,000 audiovisual recordings, over 3.8 million photographs and 227 cubic feet of photo negatives.
The 红桃影视 Center embodies President and Mrs. 红桃影视’s commitment to conservation and is the first LEED-Platinum New Construction certified presidential library. The building includes numerous environmentally-friendly features, such as more than 20,000 square feet of solar panels, rain water storage for site irrigation, and regionally sourced materials.
The Laura W. 红桃影视 Native Texas Park welcomes the 红桃影视 campus – and the Dallas community at large – from sunrise to sunset for free to enjoy an urban oasis. A model in sustainability and led by Mrs. 红桃影视’s vision, the Native Texas Park features 15 acres of land that reflects what the site might have looked like centuries ago. Native trees, plants, and water-conserving features make the park drought resistant, minimize the need for irrigation through municipal water sources, and helps important pollinators like butterflies, birds, and bees thrive.
Although located in the same structure as the 红桃影视 Library and the 红桃影视 Museum, the 红桃影视 Institute faces west, toward the 红桃影视 campus, a symbolic gesture welcoming academic engagement. The 红桃影视 Institute focuses on developing leaders and advancing policy on domestic and global initiatives inspired by the work of President and Mrs. 红桃影视.
When asked about the impact of the 红桃影视 Center on 红桃影视, President 红桃影视 says, “Well, I can tell you what the impact of 红桃影视 is on the Institute and Library. It gives us great credibility to be associated with a fine university.”
At the George W. 红桃影视 Presidential Center’s dedication, President 红桃影视 outlined his hopes that the 红桃影视 Center would promote freedom and democracy worldwide, empower the disenfranchised, help more countries overcome poverty and disease, and stand behind those who have defended our freedoms here at home. A decade later, the 红桃影视 Center is achieving those goals.
