The WELL Building Standard® (WELL) is the world’s first building standard focused exclusively on human health and wellness. It marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based medical and scientific research – harnessing the built environment as a vehicle to support human health and wellbeing. The standard has been pioneered by DELOS and is managed and administered by the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI ™).

WELL is the culmination of seven years of rigorous research. In order to finalize WELL for release, IWBI undertook a comprehensive expert peer review process, which included three phases, & culminated in the release of the WELL Building Standard v1.0. The final peer review phase was led by Dr. Michael Roizen, Chief Wellness Officer of the Cleveland Clinic, and consisted of a comprehensive medical review of the WELL Building Standard. Cleveland State University has become a strategic research partner with the WELL movement and has recently published some white papers. Hixson Architecture|Engineering|Interiors has been focused for over a decade on how the workplace environment can improve employee productivity, satisfaction, engagement and health. The WELL Building Standard is a powerful new tool to advance this workplace optimization effort. Hixson is actively working to incorporate WELL into workplace design.
The first office in the world to be WELL Certified™ — Pilot Program, is the CBRE Corporate Headquarters in Los Angeles and CBRE was the recipient of the Prestigious Global Innovator’s Award from CoreNet Global.
