Blue Zones Campus

We use evidence-based strategies to help students to perform better and to become more productive members of society. In our communities, students have become more engaged and successful in their academic and social lives. Healthier student populations have higher test scores, better attendance rates, and more potential to excel in their communities and in the rest of their lives.

The design of our streets, neighborhoods, buildings, and communities has a huge impact on our health and quality of life. Optimizing built environments can increase physical activity levels by 30%. It can also increase social interaction on campus, improve traffic to local businesses in the surrounding area, and create a safer and more beautiful landscape for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

As both worksites and learning institutions, university, college, and educational campuses have an incredible opportunity to create an environment where healthy choices are the easiest for employees to make. This results in healthier, happier employees with higher productivity, job satisfaction, and lower turnover rates and healthcare costs.
