Last semester Clemson University opened their brand new Wellness Zone in the Fike Recreation Center. Executive Director, Dave Frock, his team, and I collaborated on multiple occasions to bring this project to completion.
The Wellness Zone debuted in February and was greeted with 190 visits in its first month. Each visit was reserved for 30 minutes by either an individual or small group. The touchscreen featuring restorative content from Three Sages, provided them with the several choices including yoga, mediation, breath work, and more.
Bill Dunn, Assistant Director of Wellbeing, was pleased with the initial response and said most of their usage was by word of mouth. With more marketing coming he expected to see an increase in usage each month.
The room features Three Sages, yoga mats, lighting, a water feature, zero gravity chairs, and a unique and visual relaxing table. Each product was put in place to create options for the user depending on their needs. The wellness team can also upload their own content creating both programs and promotional ads to the platform.
There are discussions about additional features to provide a more intimate setting for this initial room as well as investing in additional items across campus including outdoor spaces to expand their reach. As they move forward, Nex Play LLC is excited to partner with them creating holistic areas on their and their affiliated campuses.
