Here's a picture of the UCLA Health Training Center.

The jerseys on the doors is a neat touch.

We’re extremely pleased and excited about our new partnership with UCLA Health. Their innovative, forward-thinking, research-oriented medical team and facilities are unsurpassed, and their focus on not only treating, but preventing, injuries will translate into the ultimate goal of helping our players perform better on-court and to prolonging their professional careers. In addition, UCLA Health’s community relations and community commitment views and philosophies are so closely aligned to those of the Lakers that they make us perfect partners to further those goals and programs."
— Jeanie Buss, Lakers President and Co-Owner


The facility itself sounds exciting

The new facility will be equipped with a top-of-the-line training room as well as multiple whirlpools, dual cryogenics chambers, a barber shop, and an indoor-outdoor lounge fully outfitted for a myriad of digital connections. In addition, the second floor will house offices for Business and Basketball Operations for Lakers and D-Fenders coaching, scouting, and administrative purposes.


Aside from the two courts and 750 capacity arena seating, the first floor offers amenities unparalleled across the game. An on-court smart board and video display uses state-of-the-art technology for strategic planning and playback. "The UCLA Health Training Center will be the greatest and most up-to-date training facility in the league, and will allow us the best opportunities to enhance our efforts in the areas of training, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and injury prevention and treatment,” said Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak.

Is this facility on the UCLA campus? I am trying to go there for grad school starting next September, it would be a nice feature to be able to hunt autographs between classes. :D

This is correct, its a couple blocks down from their current facility, the one that they share with the LA Kings. I live/work near the area and have passed by it multiply times in the past 2-3 months. They actually opened a lakers team store across the street from it also. Its on the corner of Mariposa Ave and Douglas St.

Its down the street from the new In N Out that opened on Sepulveda/Mariposa
