ExtremeLab

The ExtremeLab complements the HumanLab with infrastructure for interventional studies on performance and resilience in extreme environments relevant to climate change, aviation, naval and space medicine, and NATO’s cold-weather missions.

Human centrifuge

Facilities include a human centrifuge, pressure chambers, and tempered baths, with plans for sleep labs, AR/VR simulation labs and a climate chamber simulating –40 to +50°C. Future expansions will add training and simulation areas for healthcare professionals, emergency personnel, and students, enhancing translational research and applied knowledge dissemination.
