health & wellbeing spaces

Outdoor spaces are desired in more private settings like courtyards or rooftop gardens but public outdoor spaces are also encouraged. Private outdoor space like community gardens could connect directly with other gathering spaces while tranquil courtyards may be reserved for private wellbeing uses. Events or casual meetings could utilize more lively outdoor spaces that are still safe.

Public spaces should be used carefully to encourage an intermingling of the community in a safe and welcoming way. Connection to public resources such as transportation would be beneficial to increasing the accessibility of the center to those outside the neighborhood the center is in. This could also help reduce the need for larger, more expensive parking structures.
