Quadrangle and Human Space launch a program to create healthy environments
Human Space and Quadrangle are offering a “Wellness Ready” program to help organizations successfully plan for reopening, and realize the necessary shifts to create healthy environments.
Through their three phased approach — Assess, Define, Implement — they are working with a diverse team of industry specialists on policies and protocols for health and safety, inclusion, building performance, and design to help guide organizations as their needs evolve.
Assess (now) involves assessing existing needs, spaces and systems. This stage calls for business requirements, surveys and engagement, organizational policies, operational procedures, and maintenance and cleaning. Assessing space review requires areas and use, occupant densities, common touch elements, circulation and flow and air quality and ventilation.
Define (now | next) suggests defining protocol frameworks and spatial solutions. This includes, organizational policies, operational procedures, and maintenance and cleaning protocols. Defining protocol also highlights space & systems planning, which includes floor plan densities and distancing, zoning and use reconfigurations, circulation and directional flow, wayfinding systems, touch-free locations and technology, and air quality and ventilation strategies.
Implement (now | next | future) requires implementing training needs, spatial interventions and performance metrics and monitoring. This stage suggests policy & protocol training, business communications, performance metrics and monitoring. With space interventions, the Implement stage recommends space reconfigurations and modifications, materials and product selection, graphics and signage, coordinate supply and install, air quality and ventilation changes, and performance metrics and monitoring.
