21 Aug Discovery Square
Discovery Square is a dynamic, 16-block health innovation district in downtown Rochester, developed through the Destination Medical Center (DMC) initiative, a $5.6 billion, 20-year public-private investment anchored by Mayo Clinic. Located just 495 steps from Mayo Clinic’s downtown campus, the district brings together biotechnology companies, researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, investors, and strategic partners to accelerate the development and commercialization of breakthrough healthcare technologies. Anchored by One and Two Discovery Square, the district provides state-of-the-art laboratory and office space for Mayo Clinic programs, industry partners, startups, and higher education institutions. Discovery Square is also home to BioLabs Rochester, the Midwest’s first BioLabs location, providing turnkey laboratory space for emerging life science companies and direct access to Mayo Clinic, the Center for Regenerative Biotherapeutics, and Rochester’s growing innovation ecosystem. More than a collection of buildings, Discovery Square is an intentionally curated innovation ecosystem where scientific discovery, clinical expertise, translational research, talent, capital, and industry partners come together to help companies validate, commercialize, and scale the next generation of diagnostics, therapeutics, and advanced biomanufacturing technologies.
