The restorative effects of nature are scientifically proven to boost health and work performance. But the great outdoors can be hard to reach from the 32nd story of a high rise.     Not so at smartphone company vivo’s headquarters in Shenzhen, China, where lush green spaces cascade up the building, providing easy access to nature and exercise paths at every level.     Opening next year, the project features an elegant spiral of exterior gardens and alternative workspaces to create a vertical ecosystem that evokes the diverse biomes found in southeast China. #nbbjdesign #corporateoffice #workplacedesign #biophilia

For decades, Bunker Hill CC—the largest community college in Massachusetts—was challenged with overcrowded, aging spaces. A new building, the Academic Student Success Center, and renovations to existing buildings, expand space for advising and collaboration while enhancing the on-campus experience for the college’s 19,000 students.    The Academic Student Success Center reinvigorates the campus with a modern, centralized student services suite and collaboration spaces, including student lounges, financial services and a library/learning commons. A large, central courtyard is the focal point of the building, providing views, daylight and connection to nature. Designed to be Net Zero Ready, the building also has a high efficiency ground source heat pump and accommodation for a future PV array.     #highered #nbbjdesign

For us, the broadest definition of health is not only the absence of illness, but the strength of a healthcare system, the adaptability of its hospital infrastructure and the well-being of its staff, patients and community. That means helping our clients prioritize resources—both environmental and fiscal—through close listening, strategic planning and innovative construction methods.     This broader concept of “Whole Health” propels the design of high-performance healthcare organizations and environments, reshaping how and where care is provided and creating purposeful experiences for all.    Learn more about our approach to healthcare design: https://lnkd.in/dNNXt3sk #health #healthcaredesign  #nbbjdesign
