The Global Spa & Wellness Summit (GSWS) announced the winners of its fourth annual Spa of the Future Student Challenge Competition. Top honors went to the University of Denver. The team included students, Lian Duan, Molly Tompkins, Jing Wan, faculty advisor, Dr. Cherri Young and partner architect, Cameron Zentz, Director, HBA Architects, for its creative “Power Spa” for teen girls. Not only first prize, but a standing ovation, went to the University of Denver’s Defiant! Defiant! takes a defiantly new approach, dedicated to helping today’s independent, stressed-out, body-conscious teen girls become mentally and physically confident. Designed as a girl’s “Fourth Place” (not home, school, the mall), self-care, self-acceptance and support play starring roles. The student teams presented their designs to hundreds of industry executives gathered at the prestigious think-tank.
