Project Spotlight: Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum

We are excited to share a glimpse into one of our current projects under our National Archives IDIQ—this particular task order taking place at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

As part of our ongoing partnership with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), TJS Group is executing essential facilities upgrades and improvements that help preserve both the facility and the history it holds.

This project not only reinforces President Ford’s enduring legacy—it also enhances the overall functionality and safety of The Gerald Ford Library and Museum by reconstructing a desolate, 100 ft fountain into an expansive garden and green space. In a special nod to Betty Ford’s love of gardening, the design thoughtfully incorporates landscape elements that reflect her passion for nature and beauty.

From modernizing critical systems to creating spaces that honor our nation's story, our team approaches each task with care, precision, and purpose.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to deliver excellence across the country through our IDIQ work with NARA.
