Carnegie Mellon University

Enhancing a Culture of Wellness

Holistic student wellness is a top university priority. The new center unites the many aspects of wellness, offering students what they need to find balance, develop healthy habits and explore their spirituality.

With new dedicated wellness spaces like meditation nooks and a massage suite, students will have access to modern resources for a healthy mind and body. The well-being lab and mindfulness area will create meaningful discussions and education about personal well-being.

Students will access services through a concierge welcome center, a first point of contact that will help assess a student’s interests and needs and connect them with resources, services and tools.

Fostering Spiritual Connections

Because practicing and exploring religion can be an important part of wellness and balance, the CMU community can explore their spirituality through a multi-faith prayer room. Plus, gathering spaces allow for spiritual discussions, meetings and reflection.
