Health And Human Performance Center

Designed as a comprehensive hub for healthcare, research, and athletic performance, the Health and Human Performance Center brings together clinical care, academic instruction, and applied research within a single integrated environment. Fitzgerald Gray Hagan Architects developed the facility to support the health and performance of student athletes while also extending services to the surrounding community. Purpose-built laboratories, teaching and learning spaces, and clinical exam rooms foster interdisciplinary collaboration across Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Cardiopulmonary Sciences, and Sports Management, creating opportunities for experiential learning and evidence-based practice through direct engagement with real-world healthcare delivery and research activity.

The design is guided by principles of integration, performance, and academic excellence, positioning the center as a world-class destination for innovation and collaboration. Organized into clearly defined programmatic zones dedicated to specialized treatment, training, and research, the facility strengthens institutional research capacity, expands industry partnerships, and increases access to high-quality care. Spatial adjacencies were informed through benchmarking peer institutions, resulting in a structured yet flexible framework that supports long-term adaptability while advancing athletic health, human performance, and interdisciplinary engagement.
