Green Wall in the "Zen Zone"

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

In Fall 2021, the student lounge was rebranded and remodeled following the theory of "biophilic design". A living green wall was installed, and approximately 15 large plants were added to the room. Comfortable chairs as well as a "relaxation pod" (a reclining chair that plays soothing music and provides students with the opportunity to relax) were added in order to create a soothing atmosphere for them to study quietly.
