Bismarck State College - Polytechnic Facility

Kraus-Anderson has begun construction on a new $35 million Polytechnic Education Center at Bismarck State College (BSC) located at 1601 Edwards Ave. in Bismarck. The building is the only polytechnic education facility in the region. Designed by ICON Architectur­al Group, the 89,486-square­ foot, state-of-the-art poly­technic center will feature project-based learning and nontraditional, hands-on collab­orative working environments. The building will include two flex labs where business and industry can partner on devel­oping projects and ideas; and provide space for operating and expanding new academic programming and equipment as well as advancing applied research. The three-story building, connected by a skywalk to the BSC National Energy Center of Excellence, will also house a live event venue, a digital hive and a security operations center (SOC) as well as other state-of-the-art learning environments. "North Dakota has tremendous natural assets that support economic growth in our state," says BSC President Doug Jensen. "The decision to invest in our polytechnic mission aligns perfectly with the state's economic growth projects." The Polytechnic Education Center was completed on January 9th, 2025
