Construction and Maintenance
The Facilities Management Construction and Maintenance team provides all construction services from architect selection, programming, design development, construction documents, code review, bidding, contract award, and project management for the Capital Projects on the NDSU Campus. As part of the project management services, we have the responsibility for compliance with North Dakota Century Code, SBHE and NDSU policies as well as management of the project budget. We also have developed and are constantly updating the NDSU Campus Design Guidelines which help ensure our facilities are constructed to high quality standards. Our team is here to assist NDSU Departments with remodeling and renovations to existing facilities. We will provide a detailed estimate, manage the process from start to finish, and work to ensure the process is seamless and as non-disruptive as it can be. Our group assists in long term Campus Master Planning and can assist departments with their planning efforts. We also maintain campus maps and utility infrastructure drawings.
NDSU maintenance staff is always available for responsive and efficient building and system issues. We have licensed mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and skilled craftsman to assist with any of your needs. It is our dedication to provide quality work with a timely response to keep NDSU running efficiently. Our trades shops are made up of carpentry, cabinet shop, electrical, key/locks, painting, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Our team manages the following contracted services: elevators, air compressors, fire alarms, fire suppression, and emergency generators.
We look forward to working with you!

Music Addition
A 9,700 SF building addition to the northwest corner of Reineke Fine Arts Center. The expansion will provide additional teaching studios for faculty, adjunct staff and graduate students. It also includes a 1,000 square-foot rehearsal space, practice rooms, extra storage and locker facilities, and a recording facility to accommodate the music program’s needs.

Richard Offerdahl '65 Engineering Complex
The facility will establish NDSU as the leading institution preparing students in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, precision agriculture, data science, energy stewardship, advanced infrastructure, manufacturing, and robotics. It will provide a transformative educational experience for our students.NDSU will accelerate the construction timeline so that students will be able to benefit from the facility as early as Fall 2026.

Bolley Agricultural Laboratory
The new facility will consolidate field lab programs currently housed in four separate buildings across campus, creating integrated research spaces that will enhance productivity across the entire NDSU agriculture research enterprise for faculty, staff, and students. Students (graduate and undergraduate) will use the building for the research they are involved in. The building will include space utilized in plant breeding, agronomy, weed science, horticulture, plant pathology, and soil science. The research will result in plant varieties that are better adapted to North Dakota growing conditions, improved soil fertility and fertilizer recommendations, improved solutions for weed control, and better solutions to plant disease threats for North Dakota farmers and ranchers today and well into the future. The building will not have any classroom space included.

Past Projects
Peltier Complex
The mainstay of the agricultural industry in the state is the ability of North Dakota to continue producing and marketing superior crop and livestock commodities worldwide. In connection with this, the construction of a new facility that houses crop quality, food science, and meat science teaching and research programs is critical to maintaining or advancing the cereal chemistry/cereal quality, food science, meat science, and food safety and security programs that exist at NDSU. These programs are not only important in ensuring food security for the citizens of North Dakota and the surrounding region but also in the ability to trade the state’s products internationally. The new building is needed to address the health, safety, food grade and code issues of the current facilities – Harris Hall and the Meats Lab – and to provide for improved efficiencies by co-locating necessary core research, teaching, and outreach areas in one unit. Northern Crops Institute will be moving to the new building. NCI’s mission is to support regional agriculture and value added processing by conducting educational and technical programs that expand and maintain domestic and international markets for northern grown crops. The ND Trade Office will also be collocated in the new complex.
A new state-of-the-art facility will be constructed on the SW corner of 18th St N and Centennial Blvd. The three-to-four story building will be designed with high ceilings in first floor areas to accommodate large milling equipment and chain hoists for meat and crop materials. Truck access to products in the crop and meat areas will allow for safe delivery and pick-up. The new facility would house shared quality, analytical and sensory laboratories with state-of-the-art analytical equipment that could be utilized by multiple users and foster affiliations between crops and meats programs. Bio-processing of crops and co-products, product development, and end-use evaluation will also benefit. The new facility will promote collaborative research and interactions among scientists, thereby making our scientists more competitive in obtaining extramural funding. The facility would also meet all codes, especially health codes dealing with food products and safety.

Nodak Insurance Company Football Performance Complex
The Nodak Insurance Company Football Performance Complex project will provide a state-of-the-art training facility for the fourteen-time national champion NDSU football program that will also include capacity for women’s soccer, men’s and women’s golf, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s track and field also affected by North Dakota’s changing climate throughout the year.
The new facility will be located in the current Team Makers practice fields adjacent to the Shelly Ellig Indoor Track and Field Facility and the Sanford Health Athletic Complex. The facility will be approximately 120,000 square feet of climate-controlled space for all weather types during the year. It will have a separate weight room space, meeting locations, locker rooms and recruiting area. Outside the facility will be an additional lighted turf field with easy access in and out of the indoor facility. The building will have state-of-the-art lighting, AV and filming space for our teams to utilize. Components will include:
- Indoor Practice Facility (~85,000 sq. ft. of multi-use practice space, restrooms, storage)
- Operations Building (~25,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose area to include locker rooms, meeting room and sports medicine space); and
- Weight Room (~10,000 sq. ft. weight room with fueling station)
