THE BREAKROOM AND WINDOW PROJECT
The Breakroom and Window Project is dedicated to provide brighter, more private, and more personal breakrooms around the University of Washington to encourage quiet self-reflection among Animal Caregivers.
The Window Project was initiated to beautify break rooms which are typically windowless environments. Many, if not the majority, of animal caregivers do not leave the vivarium from the start of the day till the very end. Lunches and breaks are spent in break rooms which are usually floors beneath the ground.
Antique window frames from weathered churches and buildings with decades of character are used to frame photos of the wilderness or animals to brighten the break room walls. Additionally, some break rooms have transparent vinyl on the windows also reflecting photos which provide a slight, yet necessary, curtain of privacy.
