Veterans who are continuing their education at the Ohio State University of Lima now have a place where they can relax and unwind.
The university held an opening of their new veterans' lounge located in Galvin Hall. The lounge was made with veterans in mind, to give them a space where they can unwind and relax and focus on their studies if being in crowded areas is too much for them. The project has been a long time coming and officials say that they wanted to create the room in order to continue to support veteran students on campus.
"It's important to have spaces where they feel comfortable and can in fact focus on what it is to be a student. In the case of veterans, it's no different having a space that enables them to feel comfortable in the context that's familiar to them, should help them do better as students academically," explained Tim Rehner, OSU Lima dean and director.
The lounge was also made where veterans can interact with each other in a more relaxed environment.
