The Armory was built adjacent to the campus in 1962. Bismarck Junior College then began using the Armory for physical education, athletics, and hotel retaurant management and paid rent until 1988. Governor George A. Sinner transferred ownership (as the story goes for $1) of the Burleigh County Memorial National Guard Armory to Bismarck State College, officially effective July 1, 1989.

At this time the Armory is occupied by the athletic department, physical education staff and classes, and the Mystician student newspaper.
