New name for Medical Biosciences Building honors longtime U supporters
In recognition of a lifetime of support, the University of Minnesota in June named the newest building in its Biomedical Discovery District the Winston and Maxine Wallin Medical Biosciences Building.
In addition to their generous financial support over the years, the Wallins—both University alumni—have contributed their time and talents to the advancement of higher education, particularly in the health sciences.
The building is part of the growing Biomedical Discovery District, a state-of-the-art research park located on the University’s East Bank campus. When complete, this multiphase project will provide more than 700,000 square feet of space (larger than 12 football fields) for 1,000 investigators to collaborate on research leading to lifesaving discoveries.
The Winston and Maxine Wallin Medical Biosciences Building houses investigators working in several areas of neurosciences research, including those involved with the Bob Allison Ataxia Research Center and the N. Bud Grossman Center for Memory Research and Care.
