The Fargo, North Dakota, office of Kraus-Anderson has begun construction on NDSU’s Challey School of Music located on the university’s campus in Fargo.
The expansion will accommodate the music program’s growth and will promote high-quality teaching, artistic performance, outreach and scholarly excellence through its performance and degree programs.
Designed by Foss Architecture & Interiors, the construction contract of the $6.5 million project features a 9,700-square-foot addition to the existing music building with a 1,000 square-foot rehearsal space, teaching studios and a recording facility. The expansion also includes practice rooms, offices, extra storage and locker facilities.
The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025.
Kraus-Anderson has partnered with NDSU on several notable projects, including the Nodak Insurance Football Performance Complex, Catherine Cater Hall and Sugihara Hall. This fall, KA completed the $75 million Peltier Complex, a state-of-the-art agricultural facility; and has begun construction on the new $78 million Bolley Agricultural Research Laboratory.
