Educational design taking lessons from tech firms

Much like tech firms in Silicon Valley, educators are also understanding the value of having the ability to rest and recharge. For instance, California State University Northridge (CSUN) Oasis Wellness Center recognized a need to provide students with a space where they would be able to relax, relieve stress and take a break. A growing body of evidence shows that access to quality outdoor environments helps students to deal with stress and think clearly. At CSUN, through a variety of flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, the students now have a space that promotes mindfulness and a healthy, stress-free lifestyle.
