The Project
The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will show what we can learn from, not about, our 26th President. These are our values:
Dare Greatly
Think boldly
live Passionately
Care deeply
The Design
The design process for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is informed by Roosevelt’s personal reflections on the landscape, his interest in environmental stewardship, and periods of quiet introspection and civic engagement in his life.
Sustainability
The Library’s design will reflect and expand upon those values, setting an ambitious new standard for environmental conservation and sustainability leadership.
Native Plant Project
TRPL is sponsoring a notable Native Plant Project in partnership with Resource Environmental Solutions (RES) and North Dakota State University (NDSU) to help restore indigenous plants to the Library’s extensive outdoor spaces.
