From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: WPI Center for Well-Being
Oct. 28, 2024
The project was recognized for outstanding design in the Community Centers/Joint-Use Facilities category.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute's new Center for Well-Being in Worcester, Massachusetts, is a large, comfortable central space where students can gather or sit quietly to read, study, or meditate. Small offices are available for peer counseling; another important element is a room for wellness classes like yoga or group meditation. The design co-locates wellness programs with the college’s existing health services to meet a broader range of needs. Soothing muted colors, natural design elements and large windows to the outside contribute to a peaceful environment that is removed from the stresses of campus life but central to where the community lives and learns.
