Biohaven: Outdoor Reflective Space

Nestled within the heart of campus, behind the library this serene outdoor space is designed to foster mindfulness, reflection, and well-being.

Overview

Surrounded by a curated selection of sensory plants, such as lavender, rosemary, ornamental grasses, and textured foliage, Trinity's Biohaven offers a calming environment that engages the senses. Seating is thoughtfully placed to encourage quiet meditation, personal contemplation, or gentle conversation. The space invites students and staff alike to pause, breathe, and reconnect with nature amidst the rhythm of university life.
