The Human Performance Center will hold specialized classrooms and labs DSU needs to offer Health and Human Performance programs such as Recreation and Sports Management, Population Health, and Exercise Science. The center will also provide the space necessary to partner with the University of Utah in offering Physical and Occupational Therapy programs.

In addition, the center will house campus recreation and intramural programs with exercise facilities such as basketball courts that convert to indoor soccer venues, a student fitness center, a climbing wall, and an indoor track. The track connects to an open-air rooftop one via a suspended sprint track. Additionally, the roof will provide space where the University can host special events outside.

The center will feature a 50-meter Olympic-sized swimming pool with deck and spectator space. This will be the only pool in southern Utah to meet NCAA requirements for hosting Division II meets, and only the second pool in the state to have these qualifications.
