BioLabs Expands to Rochester, Minnesota, in Strategic Collaboration with Mayo Clinic and others to Accelerate HealthTech Innovation

(Rochester, Minn.) October 15, 2025 – Today, BioLabs, the premier international innovation platform and operator of a network of shared laboratory spaces for life science startups, was officially welcomed to Rochester, Minnesota. BioLabs’ expansion into the Midwest, known as BioLabs Rochester, MN, includes a new 16,000-square-foot facility in Two Discovery Square. Developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, Destination Medical Center (DMC), the City of Rochester, and Mortenson, with JLL supporting the leasing, the announcement was made at a Welcome Reception in Discovery Square in Rochester, MN.

​

Slated to open in late 2026, the Rochester site marks BioLabs’ first location in the Midwest and will offer flexible, turnkey lab and office space for early-stage biotech and HealthTech companies. The facility will be located in Discovery Square—an emerging innovation district within walking distance of Mayo Clinic’s flagship campus.

“This new BioLabs site will strengthen Minnesota’s position as a global leader in HealthTech,” said Governor Tim Walz. “Mayo Clinic is a magnet for top talent and innovation, and this project amplifies our state’s commitment to next-generation discovery.”
