Well-Being Room

Located on the main level (Room 220) of the Student Recreation Center, the Well-Being Room is a space that is dedicated to supporting both the physical and mental health of our campus community. It offers a range of resources for any faculty, staff, student, or community member who wants to use it. The massage chairs are set up for post workout muscle recovery, a relaxing break from class, for our faculty and staff to use to stretch their muscles from sitting at their desk, or simply a nice massage.
