ROCHESTER, Minn. – The technology company Google has leased space in a historic downtown building for its first Rorchester footprint. The site is the Conley-Maass-Downs Building in the 100 block of 4th Street Southwest, known tese days perhaps best for another tenant — the Bleu Duck eatery. Last September Google and Mayo Clinic entered a 10-year strategic partnership for a digital transformation of Mayo, including advanced cloud computing, data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

Jamie Sundsbak, executive director of the Collider Foundation, which operates the Conley-Mass Building: “We are honored to host Google in our coworking space as their first Minnesota office. Our coworking location in the CMD building was built for innovation, and we can think of no better innovative partnership than Google and Mayo Clinic. We look forward to the work that Google and Mayo Clinic are doing together to change the future of health care.”
CMD building. Built 1900 as a woolen mill. Many incarnations, many tenants since.
