Building Project

The approximate cost of the SDSBVI building and grounds was about $13.85 million. Funding was obtained through donations to the NSU Foundation capital campaign and both Governor Noem and Governor Daugaard each donated $2.5 million from their Future Fund.

The South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired building site and architecture were selected based on the needs of the students and staff that utilize the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Special consideration was given to provide orientation and mobility opportunities for students. A building dedication was held on August 13, 2020.
