EDUCATE WELL
Increasing awareness about healthy buildings is a central part of WELL’s mission. Education on WELL is best showcased by inviting individuals into the physical project space and highlighting the WELL features pursued.
We offer free tours of the building; they will be offered periodically to tenants via the building Newsletter and/or Portal. Tours will be typically capped at 10 people per tour to optimise education and minimise impact on building operations. Tours will be run by Building Management staff or external consultants. Tour participants will be provided with a summary of the key WELL features achieved and the Building Case Study.
GREEN BUILDING RATING SYSTEMS
WELL aligns with leading green building rating systems and recognizes projects that balance a commitment to environmental sustainability with a commitment to human health. Policies that reduce the environmental impact of buildings contribute to the advancement of human health at the building and community scale.
The environment itself can act as a mechanism to promote and reinforce health by providing fresh air, clean water, affordable and accessible food and green spaces for physical activity and social connection.
By balancing sustainability and human health considerations, both people and planet can thrive. This feature was achieved as 500 Collins attained a 5-star Green Star Office v1 rating in October 2006.
