North Dakota State University opened the $50 million Sanford Health Athletic Complex in November 2016. An extension and renovation of the former Bison Sports Arena, construction began in April 2014 and lasted 2 ½ years.

The SHAC (pronounced "shack") houses the NDSU athletic department offices, equipment room, sports medicine, strength and conditioning, and the Bison Ticket Office. There is an academic center, student-athlete lounge, and a fueling station within the weight room offers nutritious snacks for before and after workouts.

The Sanford Health Athletic Complex is also home to the Scheels Center and Nodak Insurance Basketball Performance Center.

Scheels Center, a 5,460-seat arena for wrestling, men's and women's basketball, features chairback seating, an open concourse overlooking the arena, a club room on the upper east side, and as many as six basketball hoops for training on non-game days.

The Nodak Insurance Basketball Performance Center opened in November 2015 for NDSU men's and women's basketball. Connected on the southwest corner of the SHAC, it is adjacent to the teams' and coaches' locker rooms and offers two full courts with six basketball hoops for practices.

The Sanford Health Athletic Complex was designed by T.L. Stroh Architects of Fargo in consultation with 360 Architecture of Kansas City, Mo. Gast Construction of Fargo was the general contractor.
