Peltier Complex

Peltier Complex

Northern Crops Institute (NCI) is located in the Peltier Complex on the campus of North Dakota State University. The unique facility is equipped to bring together customers, commodity traders, technical experts, processors and producers from all the world for discussion, education, and technical service programs. Our spacious atrium welcomes visitors with an array of international flags and displays of regional crops and processed products. Our 60-seat Auditorium has state-of-the-art A/V technology and simultaneous translation capabilities. The NCI space also includes a conference room, breakout session room, dining room and catering kitchen, and an instructional lab, making it a highly-rated site for many trade team and regional meetings. Laboratories are equipped for baking, pasta processing, twin-screw extrusion, milling, grain grading, and commodity and product analyses.

The Peltier Complex is also home to NDSU’s food science, meat science, and cereal science departments, the North Dakota Trade Office (NDTO), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The building fosters collaboration amongst scientists, teachers, farmers, customers, and students through multiple shared labs and spaces. This opens opportunities and markets for crop and livestock production, food systems, and the development of new agricultural products. The facility also serves as great way to recruit more students and professionals that are passionate about agriculture to Fargo. The Peltier Complex is a wireless, smoke-free environment.
