Sturgis Hall
Sturgis Hall is a building on the grounds of the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park in Little Rock, Arkansas. It houses both the Clinton School of Public Service and the Clinton Public Policy Institute.
Sturgis Hall is the old Choctaw Railway Station, which was renamed to recognize a $4 million renovation contribution from the Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable Trust and Educational Trust. The grant was received by the Clinton Foundation in May 2003 on the recommendation of Cindy Miller, who advised the trust on its activities in Arkansas.
The current building configuration was designed by Polk Stanley Rowland Curzon Porter Architects. Doyne Construction Company of North Little Rock accomplished the actual renovation between October 2003 and August 2004. The building required thirty I-beams weighing ten tons for added stability and load bearing, a new roof, concrete and poplar flooring, and new mechanical heating and cooling systems.
