TKA+D Earns Fitwel 1-Star Certification Building: Commercial Interior Space
We are thrilled to share that the TKA+D office has officially earned a Fitwel® 1-Star Certification for Buildings: Commercial Interior Space v3.0! This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing health, wellness, and sustainability in every space we design—including our own.
Fitwel Certification is a globally recognized standard that evaluates how buildings and interiors support occupant health and well-being. The rigorous certification process involves the assessment of both design features and operational policies, spanning key criteria such as indoor air quality, cleaning protocols, universal accessibility, access to nature, social connectivity, and amenities that encourage movement and active lifestyles.
Highlights of our Fitwel journey include:
- Pedestrian-friendly site design that prioritizes walkability and ease of access for staff and visitors.
- Universal accessibility to support a wide range of occupant needs and abilities.
- Enhanced access to green spaces offers restorative benefits both visually and physically and provide daily connections to nature.
- Improved transit options and cycling amenities that promote low-carbon, active transportation.
- Policies supporting health and safety, nutrition, and mental well-being, helping everyone in our space to thrive.
We believe that healthy office environments form the foundation for creativity, productivity, and meaningful collaboration. This certification is not only a celebration of our team’s efforts, but also a testament to our values as designers and advocates for better buildings.
The insights we’ve gained through the Fitwel process will help inform and enrich our ongoing work with clients and partners. We look forward to sharing what we’ve learned and continuing to lead by example and championing sustainable, people-centred design for workplaces and communities.
Together, we are creating spaces that make a real and lasting difference.
