Office of Student Wellness
The Office of Student Wellness moved from its temporary location in Boyd Hall into its new, expanded space in the north wing of the CHSW.
Pictured above is one of several light-filled lounges and study areas on the first floor. This one is off the wellness corridor near the Office of Student Wellness.
The new Wellness Studio will provide wellness opportunities such as yoga and meditation for Miami community members. “The sky’s the limit in terms of how that will take shape,” Large said. “Our Nursing ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs and PA ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs can look at having training and practical experiences at Health Services or in the Wellness Studio.
“This is an opportunity to look at how these programs within the space partner with each other. There are many players and teams involved, and to me that’s at the heart of the transdisciplinary approach.”

Cafe to open in August
A cafe, located in the middle wing, will open in August at the start of fall semester.
Aramark will operate the dining facility; the menu will include various grab-and-go items, bakery items, coffee, and “Farmer’s Fridge” brand vending options.
Pictured at left is the healing garden. It is located between the center and south wings and accessible from the first-floor wellness corridor.
