The Office Guide to Building Health

The Office Guide to Building Health offers a practical roadmap, from ideas to action, supporting tenants and landlords in their endeavor to create healthy, welcoming offices -- regardless of budget, capacity, or expertise. The Center for Active Design (CfAD) collaborated with QuadReal, a global real estate investment company based in Canada, to offer this resource to assist the industry in advancing health within commercial office buildings. The manual draws from a well of scholarly research connecting holistic health and design, translating an ever-growing evidence base into actionable design and operational approaches. Splitting its content across three distinct stages of tenant occupancy, the Office Guide posits key questions to consider in selecting a new office location, optimizing the office design, and finally reinforcing wellbeing through behind-the-scenes policies.
