Brain Performance Institute Takes New Shape
October 14, 2015

The Brain Performance Institute is getting its own home — a new 62,000-square-foot facility that will bring together the latest research and training techniques designed to improve cognitive skills and health.
On Wednesday, UT Dallas’ Center for BrainHealth will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the institute’s building, which is expected to open in spring 2017 in Dallas. The new facility will be built in the empty parking lot adjacent to the Center for BrainHealth near Mockingbird Lane and Harry Hines Boulevard in Dallas.
“The Brain Performance Institute will be the first facility of its kind — not an acute treatment center, but a place where healthy people as well as people who have sustained a brain injury or disease have the opportunity to help their brain become healthier, more efficient and less stressed,” said Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, founder and chief director of the Center for BrainHealth, and Dee Wyly Distinguished University Chair in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences.

Brain training rooms, event spaces and other clinical offerings will be in an elliptical, three-story glass structure connected to a rectangular building filled with administrative offices.
