The Dr. Hank Cross Human Performance Laboratory is a high-technology learning laboratory used for continuing research. The Human Performance Lab contains state-of-the-art equipment used to determine a variety of different measurements such as hormonal and blood differences in different conditions and maximal oxygen consumption. The lab also houses a conference room and a 14-person computer lab. The facilities were made possible by a gift from Bite Tech, Inc., which has supported research in HHP for several years.
