The Malcolm Moos Health Sciences Tower, informally known as the Moos Tower is a building on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[2] 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[3][4] and is an example of Brutalist architecture.[4] The building is often theorized to have been built to resemble a tooth, due to the College of Dentistry's presence inside.[citation needed]
