The ILUMIN Station at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) offers students a place to relax and recharge their batteries. Students can choose from three different environments:
- Le refuge intérieur : a dark, warm, and cozy space to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
- L’oasis verdoyante : a bright space inspired by the tranquility of nature, where the mind can flourish and find peace.
- La pause prestige: a cocoon of calm, enclosed by light sails, where you can relax and enjoy a massage in complete discretion and comfort.
The implementation of the ILUMIN Station is part of an action-research initiative led by the Laboratoire vivant aimed at documenting how taking breaks contributes to well-being in a university setting, by tracking various indicators of physical and mental health. Students wishing to use the ILUMIN Station had to commit to the project with the research team and then schedule an appointment based on the atmosphere they chose. The results of this research are now available in the form of a scientific article.
