First Floor: Health Promotion

The first floor of the Well-Being Center focuses on education and a holistic engagement of the entire campus community. This floor provides a centralized location for outreach efforts and collaboration with campus and community partners to create a network of care and to leverage resources. Campus partners may include, but are not limited to the Chaplains Office, Sustainability, Dining Services, Disability Services, Academic Skills Center, and Athletics.

There is a strong focus on content and amenities that encourage students to visit the facility not only when they are not well, but also when they want to be proactive and be well. The desire to create a variety of spaces that foster social interaction and encourage exploration of the many amenities in an environment that is welcoming and tranquillizing due to an abundance of natural light and plants that give a sense of connection with the outdoors.
