ECU has Sensory Spaces located in the library on each campus. A Sensory Space is a controllable environment where students can regulate their sensory input, emotions, recover from sensory overwhelm and access resources. Sensory Spaces are important in creating access to education for students with sensory needs.

Who is this space for?

Sensory Spaces are traditionally designed for students with sensory processing disabilities and/or neurodivergence, and the spaces have been designed to support these individuals across three distinct zones: Calm, Connection and Community zones. Each space is also equipped with empowering and affirming resources, as well as a Sensory Library including items such as ear defenders, sensory kits, weighted items, puzzles, and colouring tools.

The Sensory Spaces are not intended for use as a quiet study space. Please see the 'Alternative Spaces' page for more information.
