Harry D. McGovern Alumni Center

The Harry D. McGovern Alumni Center offers event spaces on the North Dakota State University campus in Fargo. Organisers can enquire about rooms for business meetings, conferences, seminars, banquets, private parties and social gatherings. The mix of spaces makes it possible to host anything from a small board meeting to a larger reception or campus event.

The centre includes the Diederich Atrium, a light-filled main space that connects with a courtyard, as well as lounges and dedicated conference rooms. Smaller rooms suit discussions, training sessions and executive meetings, while larger areas can be arranged for banqueting, presentations or receptions. The courtyard and terrace provide additional options for outdoor breaks and informal gatherings.

Event Services can help organisers plan room layouts and seating, consider audio-visual and technology requirements, discuss catering choices and arrange event parking. This support is useful for planners who want to coordinate practical details alongside a room booking. The spaces serve both university groups and outside organisations, with arrangements tailored to the type of event and the room selected.

The centre is scheduled to close for renovations from 5 October 2026 through 30 June 2027. As a result, availability during this period may be affected. Organisers planning events before or after the renovation should contact Event Services to confirm dates, room options and current arrangements.
