Moody Nolan is highlighted in School Construction News (June 19, 2025) in the article “In the Zone: Wellness Rooms and Calming Corners.” The piece explores how dedicated quiet spaces support students who need a moment to reset—helping them self-regulate and re-engage with learning. Research shows these spaces can reduce negative behaviors and improve overall mental health.
Our Perspective
At Moody Nolan, we believe wellness rooms and calming corners are essential to supportive learning environments. By integrating natural light, soft seating, and flexible layouts, we create environments where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Our work on projects such as Windermere Elementary reflects this commitment to designing spaces that nurture both well-being and academic success.
Key Takeaways for Designing Wellness Spaces
Calming elements: Natural light, soft textures, and sensory tools tailored to student needs.
Flexibility: Spaces that can serve individuals or small groups.
Collaboration: Engaging students and staff in the design process ensures welcoming, effective spaces.
