The Clinton Foundation has announced that Studio Gang will design a “major expansion” to the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. The proposed expansion, details of which will be revealed next year, will seek to “help the Clinton Center fulfill its mission to engage and educate people about President Bill Clinton’s lifetime commitment to advancing opportunity for everybody.”
In addition to increasing the existing center’s capacity for exhibitions and conferences, the expansion will also include the new Hillary Rodham Clinton Institute which will hold the personal archives and papers of the former First Lady and Secretary of State.
“The Clinton Presidential Center was built to set a new standard for environmental performance,” said Studio Gang Founding Partner Jeanne Gang in a statement. “We are excited to be working with the Clinton Foundation to advance that legacy, while also strengthening the Clinton Center’s role as a welcoming hub for cultivating a new generation of global leaders.”
The existing Clinton Center was opened in 2004 and claims to have attracted over five million visitors throughout its operations. Designed by Polshek Partnership, the center’s buildings were among the first LEED-certified buildings in Arkansas. According to the Clinton Foundation, the Studio Gang expansion will “build on this record of sustainable design and construction practices.”

Clinton and the cantilever is a curious combination...
Are you referring to his extracurricular activity?
and, mid-cantilever support translates as viagra.
I am resisting the sore temptation to name the Clinton extension.
Seems symbolic to me
