MEMBER HIGHLIGHTS Google Opens New Office in Rochester, Minnesota
Google recently announced that the company is opening its first office in Minnesota, in the City of Rochester. Google has long worked with businesses and organizations across the state, and the company’s new space—at Collider Coworking in the historic Conley-Maass- Downs building in downtown Rochester— will give it a physical home in Minnesota, as well as serving its long-term strategic partnership with Mayo Clinic. “Part of what drew us to partner with Google was our shared cultures of collaboration,” said Cris Ross, chief information officer of Mayo Clinic. “While the pandemic has accelerated usage of many valuable forms of remote collaboration and virtual health services, it
has also caused us to truly appreciate in-person experiences and connection. We’re excited to have this physical space designed to deepen our bond and facilitate innovation, where Google engineers will work side by side with Mayo Clinic researchers, physicians, information technology staff and data scientists, to apply advanced computing techniques to health care problems.”
