The Wellness Center consolidates the campus Clinical Health, Counseling Services, and Recreation Programs into one integrated facility. The intent of this consolidation is to provide holistic wellness and treatment opportunities to students and faculty. The design provides a single centralized entry into a daylit, double-height entry lobby that visually connects all the available services and programs. The Clinical Health and Counseling Services includes many spaces for modern Health and Wellness including sick and well reception areas, clinical exam rooms, group therapy rooms, individual meeting rooms, HIPPA compliant records storage, a laboratory, administrative offices, and provider offices. The Clinical Health and Counseling Services has both a main entrance off the lobby and a secured entrance at the rear with emergency access for immediate patient care and transfer as needed.

The design of the Wellness Center provides a connection to nature through the plentiful use of glazing with views of Pike’s Peak, an outdoor Wellness Terrace for sunrise yoga and meditation, and the use of local natural materials including stone and reclaimed wood. This biophilic approach to the design allows for a calming and serene space for student wellness and car
