The Mayo Clinic is one of the most well-known research and treatment centers in the world. With facilities in Arizona, Minnesota, and Florida, the Mayo Clinic receives millions of dollars in funding each year, performs cutting edge research and clinical trials, and sees more than one million patients each year. 

The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN is currently working on expanding the Saint Mary's Hospital, a $72.1 million project that is expected to be completed in 2016. This new construction project expands on the already underway project that is adding 4 new stories to Saint Mary's Hospital and expanding the emergency room. Once completed, an additional five floors will be added to the Mary Bright East Building and the third floor of the Domitilla Building of Saint Mary's Hospital will be renovated, adding 132,000 square-feet of finished space and 25,000 square feet of shell space to the buildings.  

Within these 5 new floors, three will have 23 new private rooms for patients, and two floors will be used for shell space and mechanical infrastructure. 

The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has proposed a 20-year, $5 billion investment plan to upgrade and expand the campus. Along with expanding the Hospital, the plan also includes constructing a Proton Therapy Center that is expected to be able to treat patients in 2015. The Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Center will also be expanded by adding an additional 4 floors.
