How simple brick and mortar translates into a passion for competition.

The University of Sioux Falls Sports Complex was designed to give everyone the best seat in the house.

When it comes to athletics at the University of Sioux Falls, there are two places to look. And Sioux Falls Construction is proud to have contributed to both.

It all began with renovation to the Stewart Center, including the addition of a foyer that serves as a majestic entrance to each USF basketball game.

It continues today with construction of the University of Sioux Falls Sports Complex, a state-of-the-art facility designed to bring out the best in each athlete that steps onto the field.

From management to construction, Sioux Falls Construction did more than build buildings. We stayed true to the original vision and passion of the University of Sioux Falls.

A flood of light helps illuminate the foyer at USFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most storied sports facility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Stewart Center.

With over 100 years of helping build up the region, Sioux Falls Construction has the capabilities and discipline to complete any project on time and within budget.
