The Larson Performance Center is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to supporting student-athletes at the University of Minnesota. Opened in 2018 as one of the four primary facilities in the university’s “Athletes Village,” the center offers cutting-edge amenities for training, rehabilitation, and performance analysis, along with resources designed to foster personal growth and success. Named in recognition of a generous contribution from the Larson family, the facility was described by Gophers football head coach P.J. Fleck as “more than a football complex... a ‘life complex,’” and as a “one-stop shop” for student-athletes. Since its opening, the Larson Performance Center has become a cornerstone of Gopher Athletics, reflecting the university’s ongoing investment in creating world-class opportunities for its athletes to excel both on and off the field.
