L.S. Skaggs Integrated Wellness Center
Westminster University is committed to empowering students to lead full and healthy lives of learning, accomplishment, and service. In the new L.S. Skaggs Integrated Wellness Center, students access resources and services that support learning and healthy living through their physical, emotional, intellectual, financial, social, spiritual, and environmental wellness. The center will bring together a network of offices and services united in ensuring student wellness, including Student Health Services, the Counseling Center, and more.
The center adds space to accommodate classes and programming open to community members. A teaching and demonstration kitchen, featuring multiple cooktops and stations, create opportunities for nutritional education and instruction. The building also wraps around an inner courtyard with space for relaxation, meditation, gardening, and other mindfulness activities.

The building was constructed to the highest standards of sustainability, focused on a net-zero approach. Construction, equipping, and related costs, including an endowment for the facility's ongoing maintenance and upkeep, are estimated to come to $9.1 million.
