Facility Management  

BOMA International interviewed Dr. Joseph Allen, DSc, MPH, author of Healthy Buildings and the Post-Coronavirus Office Landscape on safely returning to facilities. The science is clear: the indoor environment has a major influence over people’s ability to think and solve problems. Dr. Allen argues that "the costs for a healthy building are downright trivial when you account for the human health benefits—both in terms of health and productivity."

"As employees and tenants begin to return to the workplace, it is extremely important that when we open the doors, we are inviting everyone into a safe environment," writes Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) Inc, commercial real estate services company, as an introduction to its new guide, returning to work in the next normal. The guide offers resources and advice for tenants and owners to navigate in three broad areas: reactivating space, respecting health and wellness, and revitalizing property and workplace operations.
