Our environmental design research takes a holistic view of the workplace environment or office design, and green spaces and tries to understand how these impact the health and well-being of those exposed. Specifically, we’ve looked at exposure to nature on health and well-being, circadian lighting and how it influences sleep, fatigue and general health, open office design and worker engagement, how proximity to green spaces and nature around schools influences learning and cognition, and how college dormitories contribute to health.
