University of Wollongong
Wollongong, New South Wales,
Australia
Name: Kooloobong Village
Opened: October 2013
Cost: $40 million
Architect: Graham Bell Bowman
The two new seven-level residence halls,
which have a capacity for 360 students,
at the University of Wollongong in New
South Wales, Australia, are the world's
first residence halls to be linked to the
science of positive psychology. Kooloobong
Village, as the community is named, will
be infused with this science, which focuses
on individual strengths to evoke overall
happiness and well-being. To elicit positive
emotions that correspond to the principles
of this science, the hall doors and room
interiors at each level of the hall are painted
and decorated with a different color scheme:
blue for vitality, yellow for happiness, purple
for connection, orange for flourishing, green
for thriving, and pink for flow.
The concept of linking the science of
positive psychology to a residence hall
is a product of the collaborative effort
between Alison Hemsley, student residence
manager, and Lindsay Oades, director of the
Australian Institute for Business Wellbeing
at the university's Sydney Business School.
"Historically, psychology has looked at what's
wrong with people, while positive psychology
looks at what's right with them," Hemsley
explains. Utilizing the science of positive
psychology to promote positive management,
education, and emotional well-being, each
student, manager, and residence staff
member completes strength assessments
and is trained and encouraged to use these
strengths in their work. Additionally, all
students who complete the assessment are
encouraged to recognize the strengths in
other students as well.
Activities such as morning yoga sessions
and student bake-offs are planned by
8
Talking STick
fellow students utilizing a well-being impact
assessment, which works as a guide to design
activities based upon the impact of positive wellbeing. "Positive education programs will also be
run to look at how students can be working to
the best they can be, not only academically, but
in terms of their welfare," says Hemsley.
Amenities for the residents in Kooloobong
Village include a game room with billiard tables,
lounges, indoor and outdoor barbecue areas,
and laundry facilities.
