Healthy buildings can be viewed as the next generation of Green buildings that not only include environmentally responsible and resource-efficient building concepts, but also integrating health, wellness, and human experience into the built environment. In the recent events of the Covid 19 crisis, healthy buildings are more important than ever as business and building owners face many challenges with reintegration strategies, financial uncertainty and the planning of the buildings themselves. How can we design for a healthy, resilient workspace?

On Wednesday, June 24th at 10am EST the MIT REI Lab and EY will conduct their fourth webinar in their Automation in Real Estate series: “Automation, Healthy Buildings and the Future of Work”. Lab Director Dr. Andrea Chegut and Managing Partner at EY, Selina Short, will discuss how automation can make buildings safer and healthier, what we can do to prepare our assets and what the office will look like in the next five years. Guest experts in the field include Elizabeth Brink, Principal at Gensler, and Erik Umlauf and Mike Norton, Managing Directors of Global Real Estate at JP Morgan who lead initiatives on health and the future of work for their organizations.
