Marquette Momentum: A first look inside the Athletic and Human Performance Research Center

April 25, 2019

A dedication ceremony Monday, April 29, marks the opening of the first phase of the Athletic and Human Performance Research Center, setting off a new era of research for Marquette University. The second facility in the university’s $600 million Campus Master Plan to open, the building provides dedicated space where Marquette faculty and partners from the health care industry can collaborate on cutting-edge research in elite athletic performance, human performance, rehabilitation, fitness data analytics and other related disciplines.

Located across the street from the Al McGuire Center, home to Marquette Athletics, the AHPRC houses a world-class strength and conditioning area, as well as long-needed locker rooms and support space for the lacrosse programs and golf team.
