The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley was designed by Hugh Stubbins, with Donovan/Green designing the interiors and exhibits. The National Archives administers it, and it operates with the Reagan Foundation and Institute. The infobox gives construction from November 21, 1988 to November 4, 1991. The text says construction began in 1988 and the dedication was on November 4, 1991.
The article calls the style Spanish Mission. It names no materials. The infobox lists 243,000 square feet, while the text gives 153,000 at opening plus the 90,000-square-foot Air Force One Pavilion of 2005. It cost 60 million dollars, privately funded.
Reagan was buried on the site in 2004 and Nancy Reagan in 2016. A 2007 audit could not account for about 80,000 artifacts, and the 2019 Easy Fire forced an evacuation. It is a presidential records repository, museum, burial site and debate venue. The article gives no hours.
