Cameron Gill, Amenta Emma Architects
Debra Seay, Amenta Emma Architects
What if there was an initiative that’s purpose was to create equitable, global interventions that are evidence-based, technically robust, and customer-focused? Would you use it to make strategic policy-based, operations-based, design-based changes to improve the health and well-being of your customers, clients, and employees?
In this breakout session, the speakers will explore their innovative integration of the WELL Equity Rating at a leading architecture and design firm. This pioneering framework is designed to elevate health, well-being, and equity. The session will showcase a series of transformative initiatives where the firm successfully applied WELL Equity principles that emphasize inclusivity, accessibility, and the promotion of mental and physical health among occupants. The speakers will share how pursuing the WELL Equity Rating helped them recognize the ways they were already making a meaningful impact on DEI, while also broadening their perspective on where they needed to improve.
