The Sensory Rooms
Bristol SU now has five sensory rooms across campuses!
The sensory rooms are designed for students who need a dedicated space to focus on or engage with their senses, escape from the stresses of the day, or just relax, in an accessible, controlled and either more or less over-stimulating environment. You can request access to the sensory room by completing this form.
