Photo Gallery: 2025 summer construction

Northwest Missouri State University is in the second phase this summer of an estimated $105 million infrastructure modernization project, in addition to an expansion and extensive renovation of Martindale Hall. When finished next year, the infrastructure project will enable the University to deliver more reliable, sustainable and cost-effective utility services to campus facilities, while the refreshed Martindale Hall will help strengthen partnerships and programs emanating within School of Health Science and Wellness. More information about the project, including a map of current closures on the campus, is available at www.nwmissouri.edu/alert/infrastructure/.
