Low-Sensory spaces

Check it out.

No appointment needed—these low-sensory rooms are meant to create a calming and relaxation space where you can engage with sensory equipment and tools like mindful coloring, sand trays, and weighted blankets. These rooms provide a retreat and safe space where you can explore and regulate your sensory experiences.

Mastodon Relaxation Zone

Stay calm and cool.

The Mastodon Relaxation Zone, located in the Center for Student Counseling in Kettler Hall, provides dim lights, white noise, comfortable chairs, and relaxation tools. Enjoy a free coffee and tea bar (sponsored by the Student Government Association) in a safe environment, with the tools necessary to manage stress. There is also a quiet study area available. The space is open for use by all students, and you don’t have to be a current client of the center, either.
