Located on the ground floor of West Wing, the Mindfulness Room is accessible to all Carnegie Mellon University community members. The Mindfulness Room is open 24 hours a day during the fall and spring semesters. This is one space on campus to simply rest, breathe, and relax with no agenda.
Some of the relaxation features of this room include plants, a soothing waterfall wall, yoga mats, meditation pillows, and comfy seating. Visitors are asked to not bring homework or technology, and to just visit this room in a state of being present. This place is not be used for meetings or for work, but to recover and inspire. It is not a reserve-able space.
The inspirational part of the room includes the books and the whiteboard walls. There is a bookshelf filled with favorite books from professors and faculty members.
This space has evolved over time so that it can continue to translate to our community’s needs.
The Mindfulness Room is seen on NYTimes, USA Today, NBC, and more.
