美国大学创举 设学生打盹区
REST Zones open on campus
Students will now be able to snooze between classes, as the ASUC has just opened several designated napping areas across campus.
加州大学柏克莱分校学生会,近日在校园里开设了几个特定的休息区,供学生们在课间小睡.
The office held a launch event for these Relaxation Enhancing Study and Tranquility, or REST, Zones last week on Sproul. The zones are located in Bechtel Engineering Center, Wurster Hall, Eshleman Hall and the Tang Center.
学生会上周在史普罗举行了项目启动仪式,希望这种"休息区"能让学生通过放松来提高学习效率,获得内心平静."休息区"分布于校内的工学院中心、伍斯特厅、艾许曼厅和医务中心等处.
"I really want to introduce this new mindset — that it's O.K. to nap and it's O.K. to take a break, especially when so many students at this school are affected by mental health issues," said ASUC Academic Affairs Vice President Melissa Hsu.
学生会负责教务的副会长梅丽莎·许表示："我非常希望能普及这种新观念：'小睡或休息一会儿有益身心',尤其是在当下这种时期——学校的许多学生都面临着心理问题的困扰."
The REST Zones consist of small areas outfitted with comfortable lounge chairs. The first four zones will accommodate a total of about 15 students at one time, according to Hsu.
小许透露,"休息区"被进一步分隔成更小的区域,并配有舒适的躺椅.最先开放的四个"休息区"一次可容纳约15名学生休息.
The creation of the REST Zones and their furniture was funded by the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Student Services and Fees, or CACSSF, and the Wellness Initiative Fee. CACSSF contributed $80,000 while the fee provided an additional $12,000 directly to the zones and another $12,000 to the Tang Center for related marketing.
