Possibly in response to this searing piece of investigative journalism LUText 15th June reported that in fact this separate site is &#8230; an extension to the sports centre! &#8216;The new extension will temporarily accommodate a Human Performance Lab to support research and learning around the newly introduced Sports Sciences degree. The Human Performance Lab will move to the new Health Innovation Campus (HIC) in 2020.&#8217; So why the mysterious reference to an undisclosed separate site when the HIC(up) is referred to elsewhere in the advert? Could it be that the final decision regarding the location (which should ideally be equally accessible for both LU and UA92) was not actually taken until after the advert had been written? Is it possible that the visionary planning had omitted an actual location for a heavily advertised facility? Surely not &#8211; that would be like opening a chemistry department without deciding where to build the labs before the students started!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In subtext 179 we noted that the new Human Performance Laboratory mentioned in a sits vac for an LU Sports Science Lecturer (and also suspiciously similar to one mentioned in UA92 literature) was to be built at an unspecified site: &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/subtext\/2018\/06\/21\/human-performance\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":568,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[144,385,374],"class_list":["post-680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-health-innovation-campus","tag-human-performance-laboratory","tag-issue-180"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p99sHo-aY","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":628,"url":"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/subtext\/2018\/06\/07\/sport-sport-masculine-sport\/","url_meta":{"origin":680,"position":0},"title":"SPORT, SPORT, MASCULINE SPORT","author":"Johnny Unger","date":"June 7 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Another exciting new opportunity on the Lancaster University jobs site - Lecturer in Sports Science (Biomechanics) with the exciting prospect of a 'Human Performance Laboratory which will have teaching, research and commercial functions.
