Two Discovery Square

Mortenson is now leasing Two Discovery Square, a 125,000-square-foot, adaptive, highly secure building with leading-edge technology. As the first WiredScore-Certified building in Rochester, Two Discovery Square will enable digital diagnostics and analyses, imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), and research and development well into the future. 

As more tenants are added to the recently completed Two Discovery Square, the entrepreneurial and collaborative spirit in the Discovery Square District is amplifying greater and greater.

Unprecedented access to Mayo Clinic experts, facilities and services

Tenants of One and Two Discovery Square have unprecedented access to Mayo Clinic experts, labs and research facilities to help speed advances from bench to bedside. Every tenant can meet with Mayo Clinic Ventures for routine reviews of new intellectual property. The collaboration can extend to opportunities for evaluation and co-development of new and existing technologies with input from distinguished clinicians and scientists. 

​Tenants also have a strategic workforce advantage. Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science offers cutting-edge programs in biomedical research, medical and clinical education, and entrepreneurship. World-class faculty can tailor innovative training and curriculum to meet companies’ evolving staffing needs. 

Reinforcing Rochester and the Discovery Square District as a hub of medical advancement, Mayo Clinic is constructing the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Building, a new $120-million research facility adjacent to One Discovery Square.
