Dakota College at Bottineau is remodeling the historic Old Main building to significantly increase classroom and laboratory capacity for the nursing program. By remodeling Old Main instead of building new, DCB saves a piece of history as well as save costs. The North Star Community Credit Union (NSCCU) recognizes the healthcare need in the community and surrounding area. Providing opportunities for future DCB nursing students, NSCCU donated $25,000.00 in support of nursing classrooms/labs that simulate real hospital settings. This generous donation provides naming rights to half of the Collaborative Lab classroom in the Old Main remodel.
