Malcolm Moos Health Sciences Tower, informally known as Moos Tower, is a building on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Inside Moos Tower are labs and faculty offices for the College of Dentistry and a Caribou Coffee with a designated study lounge. The entrance of Biomedical library can also be found in Moos Tower.
Moos Tower is the tallest building on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus and is an example of Brutalist architecture. The building is often theorized to have been built to resemble a tooth, due to the College of Dentistry's presence inside.
History
The tower was the first realized component of the University of Minnesota's 1970s Health Sciences Complex plan, with a 1971 groundbreaking and an completion date in 1973. The building was originally named Health Sciences Unit A before being renamed in 1983 for Malcolm Moos, president of the University from 1967 to 1974. Moos Tower was designed by The Architects Collaborative as well as Cerny and Associates, HGA, and Setter Leach and Lindstrom.
