<body><div>FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - Crews have started work on a major construction project on the NDSU campus that will change the future of the engineering department.A unique, round building that was the former Engineering Administration building is currently being demolished to make room for Offerdahl Hall and the Richard Offerdahl ‘65 Engineering Complex.“While the round engineering building has been an iconic part of campus for many years, we look forward to the exciting transformation that will take place with the new, state-of-the-art Richard Offerdahl ‘65 Engineering Complex. Thanks to this investment, our graduates will lead the charge in multidisciplinary collaboration and problem solving to enter the state’s workforce prepared to excel,” said NDSU President David Cook.The more than $100 million project is set to open in Fall of 2026 and is designed to be the premier engineering educational facility in the upper Midwest. NDSU officials say the state-of-the-art multi-purpose learning and research spaces that emphasize teamwork, communication and interdisciplinary collaboration will provide the resources necessary to meet evolving needs of both NDSU and industry.Funding for the project includes a historic $25 million gift from Richard and Linda Offerdahl, $59 million in funding from the North Dakota Legislature and leadership gifts from Doosan Bobcat, Mortenson, Marvin, and numerous other benefactors. The Richard Offerdahl ‘65 Engineering Complex will feature more than 100,000 square feet of new construction along with significant renovations to modernize and enhance current buildings.Key spaces in the new Offerdahl Hall include a collaborative design studio, the college commons and flexible teaching and research labs.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2fXEjh_0v4HU3vW00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2fXEjh_0v4HU3vW00" width="1300" height="730" ><figcaption>Rendering of Richard Offerdahl '65 Engineering Complex at NDSU.
