University Hall has launched a dedicated sensory space, marking a meaningful step toward inclusivity and wellbeing. This calming sanctuary is designed to support neurodivergent students—those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurological differences—by offering a refuge from sensory overload and stress.
Why It Matters
Traditional university environments can be overwhelming, with bright lights, noise, and crowded spaces often triggering anxiety and sensory discomfort. The new sensory space provides a peaceful retreat where students can decompress, self-regulate, and refocus—enhancing both academic performance and personal wellbeing.
Features and Benefits
Located within University Hall, the space ensures easy access for residents, fostering a sense of belonging and community. It also reflects the university’s commitment to recognising and supporting neurodiversity.
Looking Ahead
This initiative sets a powerful precedent for other residential colleges. As awareness of neurodiversity grows, adapting campus environments is key to building a more inclusive and compassionate university experience.
