Location

The Legacy Biomechanics Laboratory is housed in the Legacy Research Institute, a 65,000 sq. ft. facility which opened in 1997. This Center provides all infrastructure required to ensure efficiency and integrity of research conduct:

• Biostatistics
• Financial Coordination / Grants Management
• Clinical trial support / IRB
• Comparative Medicine (AAALAC accredited)
• Surgery suite

The Legacy Biomechanics Laboratory maintains 2,200 sq. ft. of logistically arranged research areas and staff offices. It implemented Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards in 2001.
