- team store

- Student Athlete Academic Center
- New 4 sided HD video board will be installed.
The entire Sanford Health Athletic Complex project was completed in November of 2016. The Scheels Center officially opened on November 11, 2016 when the North Dakota State men's basketball team opened their season against Arkansas State in a game that the Bison won, 76-66.
