Rock Well is centered on three main characteristics of the user, Generation Y: convenience, confidence, and community. These traits are empowered and built upon through the idea of movement. By incorporating motion and activity into the space plan and fluid elements such as the flooring and ceiling, a sense of purpose and change is given to the space. By symbolizing the idea that “repetitive motion creates a habit,” Rock Well encourages and facilitates the action it takes to develop confidence and in-turn healthy lifestyles.



The presence of all three components of health, medical, physical, and mental, under one roof satisfies the convenience needs of Generation Y while also defining holistic health and the preventative care model: the future of healthcare. These three departments, the Medical Clinic, Health Promotion, and Mental Wellness, act as a servicing ring around the perimeter of the second level, working together to provide collaborative care to the core of the building which houses the student areas. The central organization of the student areas with the services/ connections that branch off, provides a place for building the foundation of student health and wellness and actualizes the idea of starting from within an individual to begin developing a community.
