JE Dunn completed the Quigley Hall renovation project which added an 8,000 SF partial second story that increased studio, gallery, and classroom spaces. The concert recital hall was enlarged and reconfigured by converting many multi-leveled spaces into one level, creating complete ADA accessibility in all areas and allowing easier movement of equipment and instruments throughout the building. A wrap-around balcony and offstage storage space was also added to the concert recital hall. The renovation provided a new, accessible entry, improved office and commons space, new archives and storage spaces and life safety and systems updates throughout.
The library opens on July 4, 2026, alongside America's 250th birthday, and as construction manager, JE Dunn is proud to have built it.
A presidential library pursuing LEED Platinum, SITES, and Living Building Challenge certification simultaneously — emerging from the North Dakota Badlands.
