With the donation of a sprinter-type van from Kaptyn, a sustainable transportation technology company, the UNLV Sports Innovation Institute's SPEED (Sports Performance, Education, and Economic Development) Lab has taken a major step forward. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the SPEED Lab will deliver real-time sport science demonstrations, conduct field research, and engage the community in educational programs aimed at promoting pathways to sports-related careers. Faculty and staff will collaborate with the SPEED Lab to enhance their research and outreach efforts. The SPEED Lab’s mobility will also allow UNLV students to gain practical training while collaborating with community organizations and local sports entities like the Vegas Golden Knights, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
