Share in the excitement of Discovery Square

As part of the groundbreaking ceremony for a new, innovative life-science building in Discovery Square, Destination Medical Center (DMC) is hosting the Discovery Square Community Celebration and Innovation Showcase Thursday, November 2, 2017, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

This event will be held in the Discovery Square sub-district, on 5th Street SW between 1st and 2nd Avenues SW (just west of Pasquale’s restaurant).  It will bring together art, science, and community to celebrate the progress that’s already taken place in Discovery Square, and look forward to its promising future.  It’s also an opportunity to meet the innovators and entrepreneurs that are already creating great innovations in Rochester.

“Discovery Square is a highly connected urban life science hub, attracting the world’s leading medical practitioners, educators, researchers, and businesses,” says Lisa Clarke, executive director of the DMC Economic Development Agency.
