Brown University Wellness Center and Residence
Providence, RIThe design of this building is centered on a holistic approach to wellness and well-being, which is likewise the approach to sustainable design. The structure is a hybrid of steel framing and CLT, which is left exposed and provides building residents with natural wood ceilings. Infused with a commitment to well-being, the interior connects users to several outdoor courtyard rooms to further amplify the healing aspects of direct access to nature. Public programming on the lower levels is referred to as areas for “fusion,” where residents, students, patients, staff and clinicians can come together as a larger community centered on well-being.
