Wellbeing in Engineering

The Wellbeing Room 

The Faculty Wellbeing Room is a dedicated calm space where engineering students and staff can take a break from their daily activities. It is available to neurodivergent staff and students who may need some time out, expectant parents, feeding parents, and anyone else who could benefit from a quiet moment away from the bustle of campus life. The room is also open to those wishing to use it for prayer, meditation, or reflection.

You can find the Wellbeing Room in the Portobello Building, Room B65 and to book the space, use the calendar: Wellbeing Room Booking Portal. 

How to get there

As you enter the Portobello Building, turn left down the main corridor. Follow the corridor until you reach B65.  Please note that others cannot see this booking, but may be able to see it in your own diary. To avoid this, set the event as private. Remember to change the door sign from 'vacant' to 'in use' to ensure privacy and then back again when you have finished using the room.

The Wellbeing Room Library

There will be a number of books available for you to either read in the room or to borrow. If you wish to take one of the books home, just note your name and the book down on the log. If you wish to donate any books to the library, just leave them in the room!
