DALLAS — The George W. Bush Presidential Center will tip its hat to the former president's home state, from the pecan wood paneling inside to the wildflowers, bluebonnets and prairie outside.
"I applaud the work . . . in designing a building and landscape that will capture the dignity of the office of the presidency, while at the same time being warm and welcoming to visitors," former President George W. Bush said in a statement. "Laura and I were thrilled with the plans."
Former first lady Laura Bush presided over the design process and the first public presentation of the plans for the complex — encompassing a museum, library and policy institute — Wednesday at Southern Methodist University.
