INTRODUCTION

Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or

thought that makes one feel frustrated, angry, or nervous and stress is a normal part of one’s

daily life but over time, sustained stress may lead to chronic diseases such as heart disease,

hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and other illnesses, as well as mental health disorders like

depression or anxiety.

The De-Stressing and Recreational Center is a place where everyone can stay to take a break

from stress. This project will allow the university students as well as the teachers to unwind

without going anywhere far. This Center not only promotes wellness but will also have a great

impact on the University’s economy.

A lot of students suffer from Stress and according to the survey that we conducted from May 8 to

May 9, 2023, we found that 38.1% of students suffer from Anxiety which makes it the main

cause of stress among the students. This stress affects their mental and emotional being which

results in a lack of concentration, exhaustion, trouble sleeping, and at some, it may lead to

health-related problems. It is important to oneself to take care of their health by letting go of the

stress in many ways possible. It could be a hobby or something different that definitely want to

try.

STRATEGY/SOLUTION PROCEDURE

Upon gathering information, the proponents came up with the following:

1. Gather the data from the Student of Mindanao State University using a survey questionnaire,

identifying what de-stressing and recreational activities they tend to do to cope-up with stress.

2. Identify the major activities with the highest percentage from the survey.

3. Conception. Creating a vision of the possible project outcome.

4. Project Planning. This will include land visitation, measuring land, and dividing it into

different rooms. Zoning out the land base on its geographical location

5. Drafting a possible design for the whole project.

6. Finalizing the design by creating an illustration of the possible outcome.

7. Create the construction documents. This will include the permission and contract with the

government if the property is public and buying of property if it is private. Making and checking

papers are the most important part. The contract should be validated with the signature of each

person involved.

8. Team and Delivery Method Selecting. Choosing the right partners to work within this project.

9. Preconstruction and Procurement. This involves planning the construction process, budgets,

schedules, and other factors essential for completing the project. The team will iron out the

details of permitting and land development. Revisiting the geographical features of the site, and

finalizing the specific requirements of the municipality will be done in this step.
10. Construction. The beginning of the actual designing. The construction team will be on-site to

manage subcontractors, ensure work is being performed correctly, keep the site safe, and keep

the team on schedule. The design team will perform an on-site visitation to ensure that the

project is in line with the goals and vision.

11. Collection of receipts and tallying the total cost before submitting it to the sponsor for

transparency.

12. After the Construction buying of equipment and materials needed for the De-stressing and

Recreational Center will now commence. The needs and designs, including the furniture and

decorations of the building, shall be purchased.

13. Placing and buying everything, it must still go for a check-up. Look for a lack or unnecessary

designs.

14. The Final Checking. This step is the last step of the project, making sure everything is in

according with the said plan, goals, and vision.

15. Invitation. the making a letter of invitation, and delivering it to the Municipality Mayor and

its constituents as well as the President of Mindanao State University, publicly informing of the

newly constructed center. Importantly, do not forget to send letters to the sponsors and those

people who have been part of the completion of the Center.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Below is the list of possible risks that the center may face.
1. A customer contains a lot of stress that he or she cannot handle it anymore.
Where he/she converts the stress to force or most probably converts the
stress to uncontrollable behavior.
2. When a customer having stressed, brings a firearm or any harmful tools that
may result from threatening behavior inside.
3. When there is a fight between the customers given that they are having
stress.
4. When the customer is angry and is about to explode because of stress.
5. Maintaining the cleanliness of the Center.
6. When the building will be on fire.

There are solutions that we can offer for those risks or challenges mentioned
above:
1. We will conduct seminars for the staff relating to stress. How to handle
people with stress and different kinds of stress with an expert speaker. We will also
give a highlight talk to the hired psychiatrist so they can have their own building of
the relationship. We will also conduct a seminar on Public Speaking so they cannot
have a problem dealing with and talking to the customers. Most importantly a
seminar for proper hygiene and cleanliness for the self and workplace since they
will be dealing with people and co-staffs.
2. We will hire a psychiatrist so people who have stress can talk to her/his
room. He/she also can assess customers or ask questions if possible if the Center
really does give help to them.
3. We will also hire two guards for keeping the peace in the Center. He can
confiscate firearms or any harmful tools.
4. We can also hire a janitor for maintaining the cleanliness of the Center.
5. We also have a fire exit in case the building will be on fire.
