The Gonda Building is a medical building owned by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and designed by Ellerbe Becket Architects and Engineers.

It rises 305 feet (93 m) in 21 floors, and was completed in 2001.[4]

The Gonda building was the largest building project in the Mayo Clinic’s history, the Leslie & Susan Gonda Building was constructed in three phases to a height of 21 stories. Located at the heart of the campus, Gonda is the centerpiece of Mayo’s integrated practice.

In 2018, the Mayo Clinic announced a $190 million expansion of the Gonda Building which will add 11 stories to its height, including four new floors of clinical space and a seven-story hotel expected to be completed in 2022.[5]

The Gonda Building is physically conjoined on its South side to the Mayo Building although the floors do not match perfectly.
