Utah Tech University Human Performance Center

The Human Performance Center at Utah Tech University is a premier facility dedicated to advancing health, wellness, and athletic performance. It serves as the home for academic programs in Health and Human Performance, including exercise science, sports management, and health administration. Additionally, the center supports Utah Tech’s partnership with the University of Utah to offer physical and occupational therapy degrees, providing students with hands-on learning opportunities in a specialized environment.

Beyond academics, the facility plays a vital role in campus recreation, intramural sports, and athletics. It features a fully equipped fitness center with cardio machines, weight training, and functional fitness areas, along with an indoor track, a two-court gymnasium, multi-activity courts, and a climbing wall. These spaces are designed to promote physical activity and overall wellness for students, faculty, and the broader university community.

A standout feature of the center is its rooftop recreation area, which includes pickleball and basketball courts, as well as an indoor-outdoor track that extends onto the roof. The facility is also home to Southern Utah’s only NCAA Division II-compliant 50-meter competition pool, which supports university athletics and regional events while being accessible to the public during non-academic hours. As a hub for education, fitness, and competitive sports, the Human Performance Center embodies Utah Tech University’s commitment to an active and engaged campus experience.
