Details
Cal Poly’s Experience Industry Management (EIM) Department is launching a new research initiative aimed at fostering greater inclusion in public spaces. For five consecutive Thursdays this spring, visitors to the Downtown SLO Farmers Market can experience the Pop-Up Resilience Room — a calming, neuroinclusive environment located at the Cal Poly Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at 872 Higuera St. in San Luis Obispo. The project is specifically designed to support individuals who experience sensory overwhelm or sensory overstimulation, including those who may have avoided community events like the farmers market in the past. The space features low lighting, minimal noise, cozy seating, fidget tools and noise-reducing headphones in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.
