Stress Relief Center

The Third Place

The ‘third place’ lies between home and work, a place where people can exist together for no reason more than wanting to connect with other humans. This project challenged students to create a kiosk to be placed on Syracuse University campus. The kiosk's goal is to improve student life and  connect the college community.

The stress relief center offers a variety of services for students on campus, including the Meditation Center, Activity Stage, and Sun Pods
