A $79 million expansion of the Mayo Civic Center is underway in Rochester, Minnesota. Set to debut in 2017, the expansion will nearly double the size of the center’s meeting and event facilities. The total area of the building is expected to reach 200,000 square feet. A new Grand Ballroom and expanded food service facilities will be included in the expansion. Following the project, the Mayo Civic Center will also contain an exhibit hall, arena, and 23 breakout rooms.
“We listened carefully to the needs of meeting planners and event attendees while designing the expansion,” said Brad Jones, director of the Rochester Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Those insights are reflected in the thoughtful design of the space, and we’re confident meeting planners will be very impressed with the outcome.”
