Vision into Reality: Lessons from a WELL-Inspired Workplace
The vision was clear from the start: to craft the most beautiful, healthy, and sustainable office environment conceivable.
Our commitment to this vision led us to use the WELL Building Standard® as a guiding principle—not as the end goal but as a pathway to achieving our broader objectives. We aimed to set new benchmarks in design and sustainability through the adoption of the latest eco-conscious technologies and products. The result? A 5,000-square-foot testament to what’s possible when functional creativity meets a deep-seated dedication to health, well-being, and environmental stewardship.
Putting Our Innovative Spirit to Work
In pursuing our dream office space, we ventured beyond traditional boundaries, incorporating cutting-edge elements that align with our sustainability ethos. This included everything from advanced hand hygiene solutions—we’ve installed multiple integrated sink systems featuring our XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer—to soothing biophilic décor, showcasing our commitment not only to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of our space but to ensuring it promotes employee health and well-being.
Our comprehensive office renovation is a reflection of Excel Dryer’s pioneering spirit and propensity to push the envelope in every aspect of our operations. It exemplifies our belief in the power of innovation to create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also beneficial for both people and the planet.
Sharing Our Journey: Beyond the Renovation
The realization of our ideal office space was a milestone, but we recognized that our journey had the potential to inspire and inform—and we’re eager to share our experience through a new continuing education unit (CEU) course in partnership with the Architectural Records Continuing Education Center.
This initiative isn’t just about showcasing what we’ve achieved; it’s about opening a dialogue with architects, designers, and the broader community. It’s an invitation to explore new possibilities in healthy and sustainable design, encouraging professionals to think differently about how spaces can be reworked to benefit occupants’ health and the environment.
