Meditation Room

The campus houses a meditation room for students and employees to use for quiet personal meditation breaks or mindfulness group meditations.

“The overall approach for the painting [in the space] is one of bringing color into the building,” said the artist, Eric Lanciault. “I felt the space should have a rich blend of autumnal colors to contrast with the building’s color scheme throughout. Incorporating figures into the work was important to me. These figures are a bit like guardians of the room and participants in the meditations within the space. I have been UWS’ consulting architect since 2000. I cherish my relationship with the university and am grateful to have the opportunity to give back.”
