On Friday the 8th day of April, 2017 the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus authorities through Campus Security directed the Wellness Space to cease all operations with immediate effect. Since then the only full and wholesome vegetarian/vegan food provider on the campus has closed. This has left a gap on campus for the many students, staff and visitors to the campus who have depended upon the healthy nutritious food provided by the Wellness Space,.
Henceforth we the concerned customers demand that:
1. The University authorities give the management team of the Wellness Space a limited time to upgrade at the same location on the hand-wash station, raising their roof and any other infrastructural upgrade instructed by the Health Department or the like.
2. That if the University authorities are desirous to use 22 West Road for a different purpose they find another location for the Wellness Space.
3. That the University instruct the Wellness Space to reopen as soon as possible.

The University of the West Indies authorities are still ignoring our demands while students go without healthy food options on campus. I am currently hounding the administration for a meeting to force them to explain why they locked out the Wellness Space. They think we will go away if they keep us in the dark but they are clearly mistaken.

The momentum behind this building movement proves that UWI administration cannot simply ignore our hunger for real food. They thought they could silence the Wellness Space quietly but this massive surge in support shows they badly misjudged us.

I'm vegan, I need options on campus. I'm tired of not being able to have healthy food without bringing harm to animals
A lot of people needs to eat healthier and a wholesale closure without a partnership to provide a healthy alternative to fast food on campus doesn't speak well for the campus heads. Please seek partnership rather than closer.
This is a space for healing , wellness and positive exchanges .. I always feel my spirit vibrating higher when I'm at this space !! Love the people and the food !!!
The Wellness Space is a really good restaurant that serves nutritious meals. We need the Wellness Space, it gives us variety and maintains the health of the UWI students, especially when all that's served is fast food and fatty foods that's going to lead to problems
Wellness Space is a necessity for this campus. It is the only place that adequately accommodates vegetarians/vegans, and is also enjoyed by several non-vegetarians such as myself. Furthermore, it is one of the only places where fresh, wholesome food is guaranteed. I also know of persons off campus that come here to indulge in a healthy, affordable meal.
I want to see the Wellness Space be reopened...
Unlike Uwi, we care about our wellbeing and our future

This is the healthiest alternative to Burger King, KFC, etc around campus. The only place nearby where one can get fresh juices and fresh coconut water. The students and staff @ UWI Mona have a right to healthy food options. Bring back the wellnes center!!!
