Loch View Wellbeing Suite

This is the place to enjoy some serious chill time with an inviting sofa covered with soft cushions and comfortable beanbag chairs and footstool. Grab a weighted blanket and regain composure, de-stress or simply warm up. Our library is stocked with all types of books from fiction to self-help.

You can write motivational messages or quotes on our jumbo chalk wall or be inspired by what's already there. We have a range of stress-busting toys available to borrow and a growing variety of plants for you to tend and nurture.

Our arts and crafts area boasts a beautiful large wood effect table, an art material storage tower and a cupboard filled with art materials so you can sit and draw, paint, write or be crafty. We can deliver art sessions to small non-confidential groups. It's the perfect opportunity to try something new that can help with stress reduction, focus and distraction.

Be inspired by Loch View Gallery, which has a growing collection of amazing pieces of artwork donated by talented students who have used and benefited from this space. 

A darkened cosy area with a 55-inch wall-mounted TV showing relaxing content including log-burning fires, waterfalls and fish tanks. Connect your own device to the screen to watch something inspiring while enjoying a refreshing drink from the water cooler.

Enjoy a game of chess, scrabble or cards with a friend or connect with other students. Jigsaws are available to provide a little distraction and focus your mind or you can create whatever your imagination desires with our supply of Lego.

Immerse yourself in the Sensory Room and relax with lava lamps, a sensory lamp, a water feature, bean beds, blankets (included weighted) and sensory-sensitive toys.

We've created semi-private chat areas where students can talk quietly to a friend or a member of the team (appointments must be booked with Mental Health Advisers via the Student Hub). 

A small but private space with access to plug points. You can simply turn up to study, check e-mails or just sit and relax taking in the beautiful views out onto the green space of Queens Court. Get away from the hustle and bustle of other busy spaces at Loch View.

A relaxed area and multi-purpose space which is bookable (direct via Loch View only) for events holding up to 20 students. An abundance of natural light comes from wall-to-wall windows enhanced by the outlook onto trees and bushes connecting you with nature.
