SMU chosen as site for Bush's presidential library

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Southern Methodist University in Dallas has been selected as the home for U.S. President George W. Bush's presidential library, the school said on Friday.

The university had been widely seen as the front-runner to house the facilities which will consist of a library for the Bush administration's documents, a museum and a public policy institute.

Robert A.M. Stern, dean of the Yale University School of Architecture, will design the buildings.
