UMD Merging Football, Science and Education Into Cole Field House
Biology Professor Elizabeth Quinlan talks to Forbes about the new Cole Field House, which merges sport, health, science, wellness and entrepreneurial education into one facility.
Merging academic and athletic endeavors into one venue not only blurs the architectural line between the two but allows for crossover research. “The expanded technology and resources in Cole Field House will allow analysis from molecules and cells to circuits and systems leading to a more complete insight into how the brain reacts to and recovers from trauma,” says Quinlan, scientific co-director of the Center for Sports Medicine, Health and Human Performance.
