Mayo Clinic Health System – Mankato Bed Tower Expansion
The Bed Tower Expansion at Mayo Clinic Health System significantly enhanced the organization’s capacity to deliver state-of-the-art healthcare. The three-story addition brought new ICU, PCU, maternity and medical-surgical spaces and 90 patient rooms to the existing hospital structure on the Mayo campus.
To support the expansion, Boldt established connections with the central hospital and installed critical infrastructure—including a 900-ton chiller and two cooling towers. Throughout construction, the team collaborated closely with hospital staff to ensure the project progressed safely and efficiently without disrupting ongoing hospital operations.
The team fully leveraged Building Information Modeling (BIM) through the AutoDesk Construction Cloud platform for project planning and execution. In addition, Boldt’s virtual design and construction team supported the effort with services in estimating, waste reduction, visualization and site layout.

Project Highlights
- Window assemblies were prefabricated and pre-glazed off-site in the subcontractor’s shop, delivered in panelized sections, shipped to the site and hung directly from the structure.
- The MEP team utilized shared modular racks, each approximately 20 feet in length, that were swung into the building and hoisted into place above the ceiling.
