After over a year of preparation, I am proud to announce that the UOL sensory room is now open in the main library: UL111 for all students to use. The primary motivation for this room was a consideration of how SEDIC can work to assist both student mental health and the neurodiverse community: two of the main factors affecting student experience at university nationwide.
With this in mind, the room serves as a quiet study space equipped with sensory toys, alternative and comfortable seating, cushions and blankets, books and resources on mental health and neurodiversity, tactile sensory pads, and colouring books/puzzles for relaxing. We hope you enjoy this space and thank you for voting to make this happen. From us at SEDIC.
