It was a long two years for the administrative staff at NDSU Athletics while they went to work every day somewhere other than campus. In fact, they were nearly three miles away from any facility, classroom or student-athlete. All that changed on July 25 when the administrative office phase of renovation was completed. It’s been over two months and only minor details remain from the administrative staff having everything they need from an office. The administrative offices are located above the main entrance on the second floor, extending to the west. The admin offices will be on the left when entering the office wing of the Sanford Health Athletic Complex. Just around the corner is the main boardroom where administrative meetings are held with the whole staff. Further down the hallway are the admin offices. Director of Athletics Matt Larsen’s office will be on the southwest corner. His office and many others have tables for in-office meetings.

“I think the biggest thing is, too, is everybody having their own space. In the BSA that wasn’t the case, you had multiple people grouped up in one workspace, to have their own workspace now and the ability to meet with student-athletes, meeting people as they come in, it’s just a better setup all the way.” – Matt Larsen, NDSU Director of Athletics

  • The administrative office wing and coaches office wing are both 8,300 square feet.
  • There’s three main conference room in the offices at the SHAC. Two on the administrative end and one where the coaches are, but, each basketball program has a mini war room on each end of the office.

“This has been great. I mean, now having everyone under one roof is much more functional for coaches and for all of our staff. Instead of driving in your car to get across town to a meeting to see somebody else, now everybody is here under one roof. So that’s been nice, and really, now you have access to student-athletes and being on campus and the vibe of being on campus. We’ve been here now for just about two months and it’s a lot more efficient with a better setup and better access to people.” – Matt Larsen
