Health and Counseling Centers

LEED Silver® Certification

The Health and Counseling Centers are integrated wellness facilities that provide clinical treatment, mental health services, and educational programs. The building’s biophilic design supports the Centers’ mission to foster the physical and mental well-being of students. The exterior incorporates pedestrian paths, meditation gardens, and open lawns to encourage physical activity and mental contemplation. The interior layout accommodates the operation of each center in a calming environment while producing opportunities for collaboration and shared resources.

The project’s sustainability features were designed to improve physical and mental wellness. For example, the green roof is a meditative garden for the Counseling Centers. Additionally, spaces are arranged to maximize daylight and views while connecting the occupants with nature. These key strategies and others have earned the project a USGBC LEED Silver certification.
