CIC Update: 'Phase two' begins with open date slated for fall 2025

Work continues on the North Dakota State College of Science Career Innovation Center located at 4230 64th Ave. S. in Fargo. CIC aims to provide a regional and collaborative education and training solution to meet the workforce needs of our region.

 

Initially slated to open in August of 2022, complications with moisture and supplies pushed the timeframe to June 2023. With funding issues arising and a change in architects, it was again pushed out. Despite a few setbacks, the NDSCS Foundation anticipates opening the center’s doors in the fall of 2025.
