The George W. Bush Presidential Center, scheduled to open in 2013, will provide a place for scholarly research and educational activities and also host joint conferences and public lectures. It will serve as a resource for SMU, Dallas, the region and the nation.
The Presidential Center will be located on a 24-acre site on the east side of campus, near the corner of SMU Boulevard and North Central Expressway (U.S. Highway 75). The site is near a light-rail station.
