This paper details the development of the Human Factors Research Laboratory at the University of Minnesota from its conception to the present time. The account features the intellectual structure and thematic progress through illustrative examples of individual research projects. These examples are given not simply for historical purposes but as specific cases of how Human Factors research can feature in an ever more pragmatic societal environment and therefore come to the fore of the modern University agenda in both education and research.
