A new space for wellbeing and a fruitful afternoon at the Faculty of Pharmacy

Yesterday

On the afternoon of May 29th, an informal yet meaningful event took place in front of the "K" building of the Faculty of Pharmacy: the communal space was enriched with garden furniture, and staff members inaugurated the new relaxation area amidst fresh fruits and informal conversations.

The event had a dual purpose: to provide colleagues with a brief respite outdoors and to officially embrace the newly installed outdoor furniture, which will continue to serve staff and students in their relaxation. Scheduled for a sunny afternoon, the program also served as a community-building occasion – precisely the kind that is often scarce amidst the busy weekdays.

The initiative closely aligns with the strategic goals of the faculty. Supporting employee well-being and promoting health consciousness are key priorities, both prominently featured in Faculty of Pharmacy’s long-term strategy. Small gestures such as shaded benches, comfortable garden chairs, or a bowl of fruit convey the message that how we feel at the workplace – both physically and mentally – matters.

Looking ahead, the faculty leadership aims to expand and sustain these community events. Alongside further developments of the outdoor relaxation area, regular fruit days are planned – smaller events that seamlessly integrate into employees' days and contribute to a more health-conscious and humane workplace culture.

The garden inauguration and fruitful afternoon symbolized both the dedication to a new communal space and the continuation of an existing mindset: one where the workplace environment supports relaxation and rejuvenation alongside work duties.
