Mayo Clinic to build out space on technology campus
Feb. 26—ROCHESTER — Mayo Clinic is looking to Rochester's former IBM campus as the site for a new project.
On Monday, the Clinic filed for a permit for a "HTM Fit-up in Building 103" on the Rochester Technology Campus at 2900 37th St. SE. HTM stands for Mayo Clinic's Healthcare Technology Management department, which maintains medical and clinical equipment.
It is unclear what the timeline for this project is or how many employees will work there. It is also unknown if Mayo Clinic is moving an existing HTM site to Building 103 or if this will be a new facility. Mayo Clinic did not respond to questions about the construction of the HTM site on the Rochester Technology Campus.
Building 103 is the same building where Rochester's Rion has a new 12,000-square-foot manufacturing facility operating to make Rion Aesthetics' anti-aging skin serum called Plated.
Pramana, a Massachusetts-based digital pathology company that works with Mayo Clinic, also operates a 5,000-square-foot spot in Building 103 as its North American distribution and manufacturing center with an estimated five employees.
Applied Aerosol Technologies also has six offices and a small lab space in that same building.
Mayo Clinic is the latest medical company to carve out space in the 69-year-old sprawling complex that was built to house IBM's operations in Rochester.
Vyriad and its related firm, Imanis Life Sciences, are growing rapidly in Building 110. Waters Medical, the U.S. subsidiary of France-based Institut Georges Lopez or IGL, is leasing a 4,100-square-foot spot in Building 003 on the campus.
IBM sold the almost 500-acre campus with its 34 buildings to Los Angeles-based Industrial Realty Group for $33.9 million in 2018. IBM occupies leased space in eight buildings on the property. IBM's younger corporate sibling, Kyndryl , previously also worked out buildings on the campus. However, Kyndryl pulled the plug on its physical offices on the Rochester campus at the end of 2024.
The Armonk. N.Y.-based IBM was Rochester's top employer for much of the late 1950s and early 1960s with technology as the city's main focus trailed by health care in second place.
In 1966, Mayo Clinic tied it, when each employed 3,600 workers. Mayo pulled ahead in 1967 with 3,850 employees compared to IBM's 3,800.

The Financial Backbone of Startups: Why Austin Entrepreneurs Need Professional CPA and CFO Support
Austin, Texas, continues to attract some of the most innovative minds and fastest-growing startups in the country. From tech ventures to local service-based businesses, the entrepreneurial spirit is thriving. Yet for all the excitement and energy, one challenge keeps tripping up promising ventures: financial mismanagement. Many entrepreneurs focus on product development, customer acquisition, and branding—leaving accounting, forecasting, and compliance as afterthoughts. But in a city where competition is fierce and investors are selective, overlooking your financial health can cost you growth—or even your business. The startup journey often comes with: Inconsistent revenue Unclear cash flow Poorly tracked expenses Tax surprises Missed funding opportunities Founders are typically visionaries, not financial experts. As a result, many operate their businesses using spreadsheets, gut instincts, or outdated accounting software. These approaches might work in the first few months—but not when you're scaling, hiring, or seeking capital. Before you bring in CFO-level leadership or consult with CPA firms, your first step should be hiring a small business accountant in Austin.

Without knowing your margins, it's easy to undercharge. A CFO will analyze your costs and recommend a sustainable pricing structure. If your books are messy, or your pitch deck lacks solid financials, investors will walk away. A CFO ensures you're always 'investor-ready.' By working closely with your accountant and eventually a CPA firm, a CFO keeps you organized year-round so you're not scrambling when April rolls around. Austin isn't just any city—it's a tech hub, creative powerhouse, and magnet for venture capital.

Your financial team should feel like an extension of your startup—not just a service provider. Building a startup is hard enough. Don't let poor financial decisions be the reason you fail.

William warns ocean life 'diminishing before our eyes'
The Prince of Wales has described the challenge of protecting the world's oceans as "like none that we have ever faced before." In a speech delivered to the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco, Prince William said life on the ocean floor was "diminishing before our eyes" and called for ambitious action "on a global, national and local level". At the Grimaldi Forum, named after Monaco's royal family, the Prince spoke in both English and French as he laid out what was at risk. "The truth is that healthy oceans are essential to all life on earth. They generate half of the world's oxygen, regulate our climate and provide food for more than three billion people," he said. Ocean damage unspeakably awful, Attenborough tells prince Attenborough at 99 delivers 'greatest message he's ever told' Rising temperatures, pollution and overfishing are causing huge damage to the world's oceans and the communities that rely on them. The forum comes ahead of the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France, this week, with the events looking at the role oceans play in global trade, food security and sustainable energy. In Monaco on Sunday, the Prince was speaking to an audience of environmentalists, scientists and investors – many of whom are in southern France with a view to financing ocean protection projects. Prince William acknowledged that investing in ocean work can be a tricky proposition for investors. "All too often, it can feel distant and disconnected from our everyday lives, allowing us to forget just how vital it is," he said. "We must realise the potential of the blue economy for our ecosystems, our economies and our communities." The Prince was speaking as founder of the Earthshot Prize, which gives out five £1m prizes each year for the best solutions to the greatest climate challenges. Several Earthshot winners and past finalists were in the audience. Enric Sala, of the National Geographic Society's Pristine Seas project, was a finalist in 2021 and has pioneered work to protect marine life. He is also part of the team that has produced Sir David Attenborough's new film, Oceans, which Prince William described as "the most compelling argument for immediate action I have ever seen". "Watching human activity reduce beautiful sea forests to baron deserts at the base of our oceans is heart-breaking," the Prince said. "For many, it is an urgent wake up call to just what is going on in our oceans. But it can no longer be a matter of 'out of sight, out of mind'." He ended his speech saying action was needed for future generations and quoted Sir David. "If we save the sea, we save our world." The Prince interviewed Sir David at the premiere of Oceans last month, with the film described by its producer as "the greatest message [Sir David] has ever told". Kensington Palace described the speech as a "landmark intervention" by Prince William, using his platform to generate change and bring in investments to scale up ocean solutions. While in southern France, the Prince met President Chavez of Costa Rica, France's President Macron and Prince Albert of Monaco - a supporter of many oceans projects and a key player at the forum. Prince William will also attend a closed session, held in private, with ocean experts and investors. Additional reporting by Adam Hale.

FDA: More cucumbers, ready-to-eat products recalled in growing salmonella outbreak
A Maryland food company has recalled specific salsa and cucumber products because they were made with cucumbers that are possibly contaminated with salmonella. TGD Cuts, LLC of Jessup, Maryland, is recalling some tub and tray products because they contained cucumbers from Boynton Beach, Florida-based Bedner Growers Inc., which have been linked to a salmonella outbreak. TGD Cuts distributed the affected products, which included salsas, sliced cucumbers and cucumber spears, to retail and foodservice locations in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The products had use-by dates ranging from May 20 to May 28 and are unlikely to be in stores or being used. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products, the FDA said. Egg recall: Brown eggs sold at some Walmart stores have salmonella risk The initial May 19 recall involved cucumbers sold directly to consumers at Bednar's Farm Fresh Market, according to notices published May 19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA. Subsequent recalls have been announced by grocers such as Harris Teeter, Kroger and Walmart for repackaged cucumbers for resale under different brand names or those used in ready-to-eat products, including vegetable trays and salads. The cucumbers, distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales of Delray, Florida, also led to Target recalling individual cucumbers on May 30, specifically cucumber two-packs and various prepared foods products. In addition to the growing cucumber-related recall, other products have been recalled recently for potential salmonella contamination. The FDA on May 28 upgraded a recall of tomatoes distributed in three southern states to a Class I recall, meaning consumption of the food could cause serious health complications or lead to death. Then, on June 6, the CDC and FDA linked brown eggs sold in nine states – including at some Walmart stores – to an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak, in which 79 people have been sickened and at least 21 hospitalized. Customers who purchased any products from TGD Cuts should get rid of them or return them for a full refund. Here is the list of products recalled due to a possible salmonella risk. Salmonella poisoning causes about 1.35 million illnesses, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths each year in the U.S., according to the CDC and FDA. Symptoms, which include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, will usually occur six hours to six days after exposure and may last up to seven days. Symptoms from severe infections may include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, and blood in urine or stool. Mike Snider is a reporter on USA TODAY's Trending team.
