Strategic plan priority area 1: Knowledge creation and impact

Conduct excellent research that advances knowledge, facilitates innovation, promotes health and well-being, prevents illness and injury, and optimizes abilities across the life course for all

To conduct world-class research you need the right people and the right facilities. That’s why we are committed to attracting and retaining outstanding faculty, graduate students and staff and providing them with state-of-the-art environments.

An expansion of the existing building complex will provide much-needed space for ground-breaking research, a new lecture hall, and Kinesiology teaching laboratories.
