Penn State Brandywine

Penn State Brandywine’s Library serves a campus of 1500 undergraduate students in the suburbs of  Philadelphia. With a recent renovation starting to support tutoring on campus, we had the opportunity to reimagine a space that has been occupied by the Writing Studio for over a decade. This space has had a soft launch as the new Sensory Space and has proven to be a new favorite spot for many of our students. The room contains diverse seating options, adjustable forest inspired lighting, various fidget toys, lap pads, noise cancelling headphones, puzzles, zen garden, and more.

Fidgets, headphones, lappads, puzzles, visonboard supplies and more with an arrow pointing left
