Healthy Building Equals Healthy Staff
In addition to needing more space, we wanted to move to a space that
was more comfortable. The old office had tight quarters that were frequently
too hot in the summer or drafty and cold in the winter. We have taken a few
steps to create a healthy work environment. We have:
- used paint with low or no volatile organic compounds (low-VOC)
- used products that are low-VOC and have no formaldehyde adhesives
- provided a full kitchen for staff to use to prepare lunch or other meals
- provided showers in the bathrooms for staff (or members) to use if they
bike to work or if they want to exercise during their lunch hour
- provided covered bicycle parking
- provided a bicycle for staff use on work-related errands
- provided two reserved carpool parking spots
- ensured that each work station has access to natural daylighting
