IWBI will bring leading-edge health and design information
WASHINGTON — The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI) recently announced a partnership to advance the AIA’s design and health initiative. As the first corporate supporter of the initiative, IWBI will bring leading-edge health and design information, research, and professional education opportunities to AIA members to enable their stewardship of health- and wellness-focused design and architecture. Through WELL Workshops hosted around the country, AIA will provide educational opportunities to support its membership in becoming WELL-accredited professionals (WELL APs).
“Design has the power to improve the health of the American public,” said AIA CEO Robert Ivy. “Partnering with IWBI will engage and empower our architect members and more effectively link the built environment with public health and well-being as the WELL Building Standard is adopted in the marketplace.”
