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!"

Crowe Construction (St. Louis Park) contacted us about replacing the skylights at Artistry on 10th, a modern luxury apartment complex. The existing skylights were extremely leaky, aesthetically unappealing, had poor opacity, and failed to meet current-day structural requirements. They allowed minimal natural light to enter the space, provided little comfort or functionality, and were energy inefficient.
