KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 -- The Well Living Lab, a Delos and Mayo Clinic collaboration has announced a comprehensive plan to study the design and operation of workspaces to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
According to a statement, this initiative will include research conducted in the lab, along with applications and interventions into corporate offices in the United States and internationally.
“The Well Living Lab is uniquely positioned to bring together building and health sciences expertise and technologies to generate and disseminate discoveries. This knowledge will help prepare the world for post COVID-19 safe environments in office and other settings,” said Well Living Lab Director (Research) and Mayo Clinic cardiologist, Dr Veronique Roger.
The Well Living Lab, adjacent to the Mayo Clinic campus in Rochester, Minnesota, will use its configurable ‘living lab’ office space to generate insights and evaluate technologies for reducing the risk of respiratory virus transmission in work environments.
Cushman & Wakefield will contribute their expertise in workplace strategy and design practices, Delos will contribute expertise in air filtration strategies, while Hines will contribute lessons learned from their six-decade history of creating innovative, sustainable real estate.
To advance return-to-work guidelines, the Well Living Lab will leverage its field study capabilities for interventions in Cushman & Wakefield’s and Hines’ offices, along with Delos’ global headquarters in New York.
The information gathered from all participant sites will be aggregated to inform the continued advancement of guidelines. The study is also designed to include participation in other field locations from additional corporate tenants and landlords.
