Biomechanics Research Building

The Department of Biomechanics and Center for Research in Human Movement Variabiilty are housed in the 56,000 square foot Biomechanics Research Building. The facility includes labs for human biomechanics, cardiovascular/tissue biomechanics, insect biomechanics, balance and strength, virtual reality, and 3D printing. Additional spaces include: Senior Design Studio, Machine Shop, Conference Rooms, Graduate Offices, Computer Labs, Evaluation Rooms, Consultation Rooms, and a teaching lab. The building was made possible through a generous donation from Ruth and Bill Scott and other private donations.
