(Rochester, MN) -- Mayo Clinic is getting a 100-million-dollar gift to expand its radiation treatment facility in Rochester.

The donation came from the Fred and Katherine Andersen Foundation.

The gift will allow the clinic to almost double appointments for the treatment of cancer patients.

The expansion will include a new building with two floors below ground, and construction is expected to start next year.
