Relaxation Station at the Law Library

Relaxation Station at the Law LibraryOn Friday, the Law Library blissfully launched the Relaxation Station, a pilot initiative aimed to support mental, emotional and physical well-being during the exam period.  The Relaxation Station, located in a quiet corner on the main floor of the Law Library, can be a stopping point in anyone’s day. 
With comfy couches, natural light, and activities that may calm, relax, or refocus the mind, the Station is a place all students, faculty and staff can pause for a while to knit, crochet, colour or just be.  You may also be helping someone else: completed knit and crochet projects will be donated to a local charitable organization.  Let the Relaxation Station be a stopping point for you!
