Sheffield Hallam University is planning to construct the £14 million Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre in the United Kingdom. Designed by HLM Architects as a leading-edge research and development hub for the study of physical activity, the facility will feature a 3D gait analysis and scanning lab; an advanced sports pitch with cameras and tracking technologies; a 25-foot-high indoor lab; a manufacturing workshop; and physiological imaging and measuring suites. Located in the Olympic Legacy Park, the project will support 70 investigators engaged in collaborative research with industry partners to develop health and fitness innovations. Construction is expected to begin in fall of 2017 with occupancy in late 2018.
