Project Profile: New Roofing for Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain
MINNEAPOLIS — When members of the Masonic Fraternity of Lodge 98 laid the cornerstone for their building in 1922, they could hardly have dreamt what would happen to their location almost a century later. Now under full renovation, the buildings will soon house the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain.
Located on East River Parkway in Minneapolis, the 116,000-square-foot facility opens to the public in November of 2021. Thanks to initial funding of more than $35 million from Minnesota Masonic Charities, the institute will focus on the early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders in early childhood and adolescence. But first the structure needs top-to-bottom rebuilding — inside and out.
