Today's college students need to keep their mental health protected. The Hive is an on-campus space and resource for college students to restore and respite themselves through the school day. Inspired from the role of guardian bees, this space allows for socialness and movement in the heart of the design, protecting and creating a “barrier” for the secondary private spaces. Guardian bees are darker in color compared to the rest of the colony so the colors in the smaller - private spaces will be darker colored than the public community-centered area. This represents the protective characteristic guardian bees have in the smaller spaces, and the socialness and movement aspect of guardian bees in the public space.
