Wellness Rooms
Tranquil Spaces for Rejuvenation and Care
The School of Medicine Basic Sciences has thoughtfully renovated two dedicated Wellness Rooms—located in 715 PRB and 6132 MRB3 (in partnership with the Vanderbilt Brain Institute)—to support the holistic well-being of our community. These serene spaces are designed to accommodate lactation, temporary hoteling, and meditation, providing a quiet environment to help reduce stress and enhance productivity.
These rooms are available to Vanderbilt personnel upon approval through the Office of Facilities, Information, and Risk Management (FIRM).
Priority Use
New mothers have priority access and may reserve these rooms at their discretion. Other individuals—including visitors, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty, and staff—may request access based on availability and subject to approval.

-

Access Process
Nursing or lactating individuals may request ongoing access by completing this REDCap request form.
Upon approval, users will receive confirmation and access to an Outlook calendar to reserve the room as needed.
Non-lactating individuals may also request one-time or recurring access via the same REDCap form and will need to re-submit their request once the initial reservation period has ended.
