Landlords and Tenants Work With Wellness Experts To Reassure Returning Employees The Office Is Safe

The WELL Building Standard “is the first rating system to focus exclusively on how Buildings impact human health.” It is now in the process of preparing aWellv2 which will incorporate guidelines needed due to the coronavirus. “The prevention of infectious diseases hadn’t been given nearly as much weight as providing occupants with light, fresh air and fitness opportunities…WELLv2 to reflect the office world’s new concerns will start unveiling new guidelines in late summer or early fall.” Riverside Investment & DevelopmentExecutive Vice President Tony Sacco said “The first thing tenants ask about is air quality and the building opened in 2017 with what was considered an advanced filtration system, one used in hospitals.” ‘But the Developer is adding another level of safety by using bipolar ionization air-cleaning devices. Other changes to 150 North Riverside include a system to move the buildings entire daily population from lobby to their offices without placing more than four people in an elevator at one time. In addition, tenants can use their mobile devices to gain access.’ Brian Royal, Bisnow July 28, 2020. #ofcspc;
