The COVID-19 global pandemic has created a paradigm shift in the built environment. While our recent focus was trending towards occupant health and wellness in the workplace, it is clear we need to explore this once more under a new lens. With state and federal governments preparing to ease social distancing restrictions, the focus of many businesses is shifting to the safe and successful re-entry of their staff to the workplace.

Through this exercise, we’ve developed a framework that can assist in the development of workplace re-entry strategies, with considerations that go beyond distancing and cleaning to answer questions such as “Which areas of my floorplan present the lowest airborne infection risk?” and “How do I manage infection risk in lifts?”.
