The Barack Obama Presidential Center is a planned museum, library and education project in Chicago to commemorate the presidency of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States.[2][3] The center will also include community and conference facilities and will house the nonprofit Obama Foundation. Construction on the 19.3 acre campus is expected to top out in mid-2024, and the center to open in the first half of 2026.[4][5]
The center's work includes digitizing the Barack Obama Presidential Library with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), to create the first fully digitized presidential library.[2] The Library is administered by NARA, which will preserve hardcopies of documents at a separate NARA facility; however, many will be loaned to the Presidential Center for display.[2]
The center is located in Jackson Park on the South Side of Chicago, adjacent to the University of Chicago campus.[6] The university provides planning, support, engagement and programming.[7] Included within the center's plans is a new branch for the Chicago Public Library.[8]
Federal review ended in December 2020, with final completion in 2021.[9][10] Construction began in August 2021 and the Center is expected to open in the first half of 2026.[1][11]
