The Norm Asbjornson Hall at Montana State University promotes dynamic interdisciplinary engagement, meaningful student-faculty interaction and accelerated innovation that responds to and anticipates emerging trends in education, industry and society. Open to all and anchored in the university’s growing engineering programs and the Honors College, the building brings to life an enduring, state-of-the-art asset that erects bridges between academic programs, serves today’s outstanding students and faculty, and supports how learning and leadership will occur long into the future.
Based on a gift of $50 million to MSU, the building is the largest and most complex in Montana to earn LEED Platinum. It has become a campus hub and is respectfully named by the students, "The Norm." Since its opening, the project has won several national and regional architectural design awards and a coveted "Go Beyond" recognition for its engineering and systems that are exposed and used daily as a learning tool.
