Foundation has raised more than $33 million, or
80 percent, of its $42 million goal.
Wilson said the Foundation hopes to reach its
goal by the end of this year.
The Foundation must raise $42 million, which
is half the total cost of the project, because feder
al law states that no tax dollars can be used to
build presidential libraries.
The University will raise the remaining funds
to support the academic portions of the Center.
The Center will house a library and museum
building, a shared-use building and an academic
building.
The Center will be built on a 90-acre site on
million to Bush Libi
A&M’s West Campus at the intersection of Jji
Bush Drive and FM 2818.
It is scheduled to be completed in latf'.
and dedicated in January 1997.
"I believe that the George Bush Pi
idential Library Center will servef

Bush's great presidency."

Moore said the project was unique because of
the students’ in-depth involvement.
“It is unique to have the students involved in
the development of such an intensive facility de
sign, and with very little detail given about the de
sired result,” he said.
Students organized the various aspects of their
design presentations, including drawings, models
and programs.
Kris Calvert, a junior environmental design ma
jor, said the project began with long, involved re
search into what would suit the stadium’s purpose.
“We began by doing much research into details
about the various possibilities, since we had never
been involved with anything of this magnitude be
fore,” he said.
The North Texas State Soccer Association, Inc.
and HKS Architects, Inc. of Dallas, Los Angeles,
Tampa, Fla., and Richmond, Va., helped the stu
dents create the soccer stadium designs.
Kevin Lally, a junior environmental design ma
jor, said the involvement and support of North
Texas Soccer helped provide incentive.
“It has been refreshing to work with' 1
clients who were really motivated, whichhekrC
