Resources and Facilities

Anatomy Laboratory

The human anatomy cadaver lab is located on the lower level of the pharmacy building. The facility is used primarily for the dissection of human cadavers. The physician assistant, physical therapy and occupational therapy students use the laboratory to master the study of human anatomy. The laboratory is equipped with models and books to enhance student learning. In addition, a camera system with two 70-inch screens has been installed to further student learning by enhancing visualization of detailed anatomical structures.

Center for Physical Rehabilitation

The Center for Physical Rehabilitation, part of Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus, Division of Physical Therapy, is a state-of-the-art facility that offers a wide range of physical therapy services to the Brooklyn Campus community as well as to residents of the surrounding community.

Research Lab

The Research Lab is a 1,200 square-foot facility located on the 2nd floor of the Zeckendorf Health Sciences Center. It is used for research projects in the areas of:

  • Motion analysis
  • Gait analysis
  • Physiological effects of physical activity
  • Reliability and validity of clinical instruments
  • Motor control
  • Health Promotion and Wellness
  • Alternative Therapies
