Environmental Well-Being with John Muckler from the College of Engineering

How can designing with neurodiversity in mind positively impact all students’ academic success?

In this episode, John Muckler, Director of IT Facilities and Operations in the College of Engineering, discusses how the built environment can affect our thoughts and feelings and why the spaces “in-between” matter just as much as the classroom when it comes to our academic success. Explore how thinking differently about sound, lighting, open space, and furniture can positively shape your academic performance and how an expert like John is a key resource at Michigan to help you take your environmental well-being to the next level.
