The Jacobetti Complex is home to Northern's College of Technology and Occupational Sciences and Department of Engineering Technology. The two-year, $28.6 million project made major renovations to the facility, which was originally built in 1980. Some renovation highlights include the new Innovation Hall, state-of-the-art and industry-specific laboratories that feature cutting edge training tools and technology, modernized classrooms, and areas for product and equipment testing and training. The complex is named after longtime U.P. state legislator Dominic Jacobetti, who helped bring $16.5 million to NMU to build the original facility.
