Perkins+Will working on an emerging plan.
From an article in Nature:
"University of South Dakota
is tying in with government and local business development leaders
on a research park—in this case, 80 acres of mostly alfalfa farmland
scheduled for development over the next 20 years, located just outside
Sioux Falls. That's about 50 miles from USD's campus, but adjacent to
the already present University Center, which offers programs from six
South Dakota universities, and next to the USD Graduate Education and
Applied Research (GEAR) Center, the home to the school's biomedical
engineering program. The land was, in essence, donated: the South Dakota
Board of Regents is leasing the land for $1 annually for 99 years, and the state of South Dakota has approved $500,000
to help fund the first phase of development. The end result—the
University of South Dakota Research Park—is intended to be a techy mix
of South Dakota academic research, private industry, residential space
and pedestrian and bike greenways. There's also meant to be an
incubation program for startup companies."
