Memorial Blood Centers (MBC) has been saving lives since 1948 as an independent nonprofit blood center. The Apple Valley Donor Center expands lifesaving blood donation to a new Twin Cities suburb and provides donors with a modern facility with many amenities.
The donor center, located in a new retail development, features an airy welcoming lounge and cafe for donors with a variety of seating options. The space features a fireplace, beautiful wooden slats, and ample daylight provided by the building’s expansive glass exterior. Three interview rooms, spacious donor bays with state-of-the-art equipment and lab areas support the donation process. A breakroom and back-of-house offices create an efficient workplace for staff.
The new location’s warm and welcoming design along with the increased square footage allows MBC to offer a pleasant experience for donors and increased functionality for staff to help meet the ongoing need for blood in local hospitals.
