Campus Construction Projects
The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is dedicated to being a leader in 21st century education. One way that is achieved is by providing students with the best facilities possible in which to learn. To that end, the School of Mines has begun planning for renovations and new construction that will make it a reality.
The State of South Dakota and the Board of Regents also recognize the importance of this issue. House Bill 1085 authorizes a $74.5 million state bond issue to finance construction, renovation, and modernization of 11 higher education science facility and laboratory projects across the state.
Within this funding, the School of Mines will receive $8 million for a Chemical and Biological Engineering/Chemistry Building and $7 million for a Paleontology Center. Another $42.7 million in federal and private dollars would be needed to complete all system projects. More information.
