Medtronic Campus - Designing for Health and the Environment
Monday, October 8, 2007
Mark your calendars for October 8, for the October program - an opportunity to tour the new Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management (CRDM) headquarters campus. Medtronic is known for developing life-saving therapies and devices for people around the world. This campus will house the company’s administration, research and development, and marketing departments for implantable pacemakers and defibrillators, monitoring and diagnostic devices and cardiac resynchronization devices and external defibrillators (AEDs). The 85-acre campus near Highway 10 and 35W in Mounds View will be the largest Medtronic facility in the world.
After breaking ground on Phase 1 on December 7, 2005, the construction is anticipated to be nearing completion for our walk-through. Anchored by three 8-story buildings totaling 1.2 million SF, this first phase is anticipated to initially house up to 3,200 employees performing research & development, management, marketing, sales, finance and legal departments & support functions. Ultimately, the campus master plan would contain 1.5 million SF and serve 6,000 employees.
The campus is not LEED certified, but since Medtronic is all about health, the campus incorporates many sustainable design features and healthy building initiatives.
Our afternoon tour guide and evening presenter will be Jim Driessen, project manager with Global Solutions Medtronic. Watch for next month’s program announcement for further information.
