Thanks to a historic gift from Richard and Linda Offerdahl, NDSU’s College of Engineering is not just building for today — it’s transforming for the future.
The new Richard Offerdahl '65 Engineering Complex is being built in the heart of campus and will open in Fall 2026. It is designed with innovation at the forefront and will elevate the student experience by providing state-of-the-art spaces that emphasize teamwork, communication, and interdisciplinary learning.
NDSU celebrates groundbreaking for Offerdahl Hall
“NDSU engineers, computer scientists and construction managers are doing work that changes the world. This new, visionary facility will be a showcase for the University, highlighting the amazing work happening within the College and putting engineering, computing and construction on display,” Alan Kallmeyer, interim dean of the College of Engineering, said.
