Steps away from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, the steel framework of a new $45 million structure bearing big ambitions has taken shape in recent months rising in determined fashion despite the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus.
Once completed, Discovery Square 2 is expected to welcome innovative health care firms just like its glassy sister structure known as One Discovery Square, the cornerstone of the $5.6 billion Destination Medical Center (DMC) project.
Now in its sixth year, DMC is a public-private economic development effort unlike any other in Minnesota history. With the world-renowned Mayo Clinic leading the charge along with the city, Olmsted County and the state the ambitious project is intent on dramatically retooling Minnesota s third-largest city into a premier destination for health and wellness.
