In partnership with the Cornell Law School Library, Neurodiversity @ Cornell, and the Diversity & Inclusion Research Library, the Dean of Students Office is thrilled to launch THE RESET ROOM, a Neurodiversity Room, in Myron Taylor Hall, Room 381.

The wellbeing of neurodivergent people is crucial, and being welcomed and understood makes a big difference. To that end, we seek to destigmatize and de-medicalize neurodivergent thinking and actively craft recommendations for students to improve their interactions with people with different neurotypes—encouraging productive dialogue across differences

This Reset Room is a place where Cornell law students who are stressed or overstimulated can find respite or escape sensory overload. It’s a welcoming space for all students, especially those who identify as neurodivergent, and it gives them greater control over their sensory input.

Our hope is that the THE RESET ROOM will improve the well-being of our students, allowing them to relax, de-stress, and take a breather. The sensory soothing area has weighted lap blankets, comfortable seating, noise-canceling headphones, and dim light

Open during Fall and Spring semesters.

The Reset Room is generally open from 9 am – 5 pm, Monday through Friday, Myron Taylor Hall, Room 381.

The Reset Room is closed from 11:30 am- 1:00 pm on Tuesdays, when Let’s Talk uses that space to host their sessions
