Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, left a lasting mark on the nation and the world. His life and legacy will be celebrated by the museum to be built near where he found adventure and inspiration: the rugged landscape of North Dakota.

 The Presidential Library will be located west of Medora, North Dakota, a small town that Roosevelt visited and invested in during his time in the West. The museum will be close to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which protects the natural and cultural resources that Roosevelt cherished and helped conserve.


The park includes his ranches, the Maltese Cross and the Elkhorn, where he lived and worked as a cattleman, hunter, writer, and conservationist from 1883 to 1887.

 The museum's design must balance the need for an impressive and distinctive architectural statement with respect for the environment and the harmony with nature that Roosevelt advocated.

The museum project aims to be completed by 2026, the 100th anniversary of Roosevelt’s death. 


The design and construction team said they needed a glazing partner that was highly capable and willing to help deliver cutting edge, innovative solutions. We said "Bully!"

Most building professionals know that air leakage is one of the biggest performance failures in commercial buildings. What is less understood is this: Air leakage doesn't move in only one direction. It can move inward (infiltration) or outward (exfiltration) — and each direction carries its own set of energy, comfort, and moisture-control consequences. Even worse, rolling doors have historically been among the weakest points of the building envelope.
