"Happy Healthy Campus "
1 HSW
If happiness is hard wired into us all, shouldn’t it be hardwired into our academic spaces as well? Prior to COVID 19, mental health was one of the top concerns impacting academic performance at today’s colleges and universities and the pandemic has only heightened the focus. To address this concern, aspects of health and well-being are becoming a prominent part of academic design. This interactive forum will explore the ideas of feelings, the importance of happiness, and how designing for feelings can drastically increase the impact of academic spaces on campus . This course will examine the impact of design has on developing strong interpersonal relationships as well as the importance of designing for movement. It will also examine the role of biophilic design on a college campus and its relationship to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to the new WELL V2 Building Standards. Now is the time to focus on creating healthy learning environments to improve the wellness and well-being of students, faculty, and staff members across campus. Let's do it together!
