An exceptional environment where you can grow: National Bank Place is WELL certified Gold!

This recognition underscores the importance placed on the health and well-being of the people who work in and experience the building every day.

WELL Certification is a framework that puts people, and their health and well-being, at the heart of building design and operations. It is administered by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) and naturally complements other approaches, including sustainable development and ESG strategies.

The WELL Certification level is based on specific requirements and a rigorous evaluation of adopted strategies across 10 key concepts related to physical and mental health and well-being in workplace environments: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Movement, Mind and Community.

At National Bank Place, this approach is reflected in particular through:

• Amenities designed to promote well-being, including green spaces, terraces, relaxation areas and the application of biophilic design principles;
• Facilities that encourage physical activity, including a fully equipped fitness centre located on the 39th floor with panoramic views of the city, as well as more than 400 secure indoor bicycle parking spaces;
• An abundance of natural light, thanks to floor-to-ceiling glazing, along with automated blinds to enhance users’ visual comfort;
• The use of low-VOC (volatile organic compound) materials and furniture, as well as recycling stations on every floor;
• A particular focus on air quality and thermal comfort, supported by high-performance systems and smart controls.

This announcement is part of the ongoing efforts to enhance performance and the overall experience at National Bank Place. The building has also received other recognitions, including LEED® Gold certification.
