The Biomechanics Lab was built to discover, disseminate, and use knowledge concerning the biomechanics of human movement. The Biofeedback Lab is an accredited training lab where students work with biofeedback and video gaming to assist with stress and anxiety reduction, childhood obesity, and posttraumatic stress disorder (particularly with returning Armed Forces service members). The Human Performance Lab is to discover and disseminate knowledge in the area of exercise physiology through research, service and education. The Developmental Motor Lab has been preparing adapted physical education specialists to meet the activity needs of children and adults with disabilities since 1978. The Regional Training Center is a substance abuse prevention/education program targeting adult populations within the state who have contact with high risk youth and young adults.

Famous quotes containing the words laboratories and/or centers:
“We have what I would call educational genocide. I’m concerned about learning totally, but I’m immersed in the disastrous record of how many black kids are going into science. They are very few and far between. I’ve said that when I see more black students in the laboratories than I see on the football field, I’ll be happy.”
—Jewel Plummer Cobb (b. 1924)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
