COTE MEASURE 7 - DESIGN FOR WELLNESS

DESIGN FOR WELLNESS ANALYSIS

Much consideration was given to the Design for Wellness of the Axis Food Hall. First, during the conceptual and schematic design phases, daylighting and window locations were specifically located in order to provide optimal daylighting and views of the adjacent Fore River.

Also specific materials were selected in order to lower the presence of VOCs. One of the primary materials in the interior of the space will be natural wood flooring, in which the manufacturer was specifically selected because of their Living Product Challenge certification.

Daylight sensors and operable windows were also included in order to provide additional wellness options for the building users.
