College students are vulnerable to many stressful stimuli during their higher education years. Stress levels in college student population are serious; according to the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment (2015), 53.7% of undergraduate students and 60% of graduate students experience more than average to tremendous stress during their college years. Student stress has several harmful consequences that affect their academic performance and decrease their productivity (ACHA-NCHAII 2015). In addition, stress can cause serious short- and long-term health concerns that range from emotional distress, muscular pain, and headache to the severity of violent and suicidal behaviors (APA 2011). Meanwhile, the accumulating nature of stress intensifies its negative effects and contributes to the growing concerns underlying psychological and emotional health in academic environments. Since student stress and its associated problematic consequences are part of collegiate life, it is important to address the role of planning and designing academic campuses to provide interval moments of biophilic restoration. Considering the theoretical premises and empirical evidence proving the restorative benefits and curative outcomes of contact with nature (e.g., Ulrich 1983; 1993; Kaplan 1992; 1995; Harting et al. 2008), on-campus biophilic moments are capable of mitigating stress, supporting students' health, and prompting productivity. Accordingly, this research focuses on both macro- and micro scales of stress-alleviating opportunities that result when students interact with on-campus nature and mediums of nature-simulation. This research introduces the concentric growth approach to observation-based methodology for designing and applying a Comprehensive Framework of Biophilic Analysis. It aims at investigating the potential of on-campus mediums of "Transitional Cultured-Nature" (Fadel 2016) to provide restorative intervals for student stress mitigation. To test the validity of the research hypothesis and the applicability of the observation-based methodology, the Framework was implemented in four case studies (outdoor and indoor settings) from two significantly different inward and outward collegiate models in Chicago. A total of 145 attributes of observations were investigated per case study to apply the Framework over 92 hours and 30 minutes of systematic observations and consistent measures during four seasonal cycles. In view of both the qualitative findings and quantitative results, the study demonstrates the capacity of on-campus mediums of Transitional Cultured-Nature (TC-N) to provide restorative intervals, and accordingly to embody high potential to mitigate student stress. It also demonstrates that the observation-based Comprehensive Framework of Biophilic Analysis is an applicable, methodical, and realistic approach to investigate on-campus restorative intervals.
