ReCenter

ReCenter is a student living center that focuses on mental health support. This is accomplished by encouraging connection with peers through co-op housing, therapy services, and green space. ReCentre challenges traditional ideas of housing as an entity separate from the resident, aiming to provide necessary support for student well-being from the perspective of actual student needs rather than preconceived institutional ideas of what mental health support is.

“ReCenter is a student living environment that actively supports mental health through intentional community design, integrated wellness services, and nature-connected spaces—transforming traditional housing into a responsive ecosystem that genuinely addresses students' wellbeing needs.”
