The School District of Clayton wanted a quiet retreat for students to use during the day to restore mental health. Bond Architects worked with the district to convert an underutilized classroom into a wellness center with three acoustically separated private rooms for counseling. Designers applied trauma-informed design principles, such as residential style materials and furniture, to create a calming space. This project is part of the district’s ongoing efforts to holistically address school safety.
