WELL v2™: The Global Standard for Human-Centered Design and Wellness

🌍 WELL v2™: The Global Standard for Human-Centered Design and Wellness

WELL v2™ is a powerful framework that helps buildings and organizations create intentional spaces that support human health, performance, and well-being. Based on scientific evidence, WELL v2™ provides actionable strategies to improve air, water, light, nourishment, movement, mental health, and community well-being.

💡 Why Does It Matter?

Today, the link between our physical environment and our overall health is more evident than ever. Thanks to ongoing research, we now understand how our surroundings influence sleep, productivity, emotional balance, and even physical health.

WELL v2™ empowers us to design spaces that:

• Enhance — rather than hinder — our health
• Improve indoor air and water quality
• Inspire physical activity and better nutrition
• Boost mental clarity and emotional connection
