**4. Elementary school teacher sanctuary project**

Both the calming room and dining hall contributed to the healthy development of elementary students in Bruce Vento School. These benefits of the new environments had to be extended to the school resource staff and teachers. As influencers who make significant differences in student success, teachers and school staff need the time and space to recharge and refuel for their important job of leading children's development. This led our interdisciplinary team and the school to collaborate on renovating the current teacher lounge (**Figure 9**). The goal of the space was to accommodate the needs of teachers, paraprofessionals, and other support staff during the day [18].
