On Wednesday, Sept. 25 Mayville State University will hold an auction of surplus items in Old Main, located at 330 Third Street NE, Mayville, N.D. The auction is open to the public and will begin at 9 a.m. To see a preview of the surplus items that will be sold, go to www.mayvillestate.edu/SurplusAuction.

Old Main will be undergoing extensive renovations over the next two years. Ahead of construction beginning, Mayville State will auction off a variety of surplus office furniture, solid oak slab doors, Mayville State memorabilia, and other items.

Cash, check, and credit cards will be accepted. Purchasers must transport all items they’ve purchased off site by the end of the day on Sept. 25.

During the 2023 North Dakota legislative session, Mayville State University was granted more than $52 million for the renovation of Old Main. The renovations include new, state-of-the-art classrooms and collaboration spaces for students and staff, and modernization projects that will make the building more accessible and increase efficiency. Completion of renovations is slated for July 1, 2026.
