The Adirondack chairs known and loved by students for enjoying Middlebury’s seasonally nice weather may soon face a competitor: adult playground equipment. Last December, the college announced its plans to allocate an additional $4.9 million to mental health services. Conversations between staff at the Center for Health and Wellness (CHW) and students from Community Council and SGA on how best to proceed with the money have sparked several ideas: the hiring of more counselors, expanded programming and events to support student mental health and wellness, and the beginning stages of an adult playground to be built on campus.
