Wellness Room

The AIUM has provided a quiet place where you can go to relax and get away–even for just a few minutes. The Wellness Room is also a location to serve as a quiet room, prayer room, or meditation area. We ask that all cell phones be silenced, and respect others' need for quiet.

Check out Austin

As the Live Music Capital of the World®, Austin sways to the strum of its own guitar. Austin offers urban hiking trails, legendary barbecue, and farm-to-table cuisine. The city has more than 250 live music venues, where on any given night, the sounds of rock, country, indie, and Tejano music echo throughout the streets. From guided walking tours of downtown to a 3-hour walking tour of Austin's best eateries, to a family-friendly adventure on the Austin Duck, there are many ways to see the city.
