The National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Design and Environment (SDE) becomes the first series of buildings in Singapore, as well as the foremost in the educational sector worldwide to achieve the WELL™ Health-Safety Rating by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI).
Achieving the WELL™ Health-Safety Rating marks an important achievement in NUS’ and SDE’s commitment to the health of its building’s occupants, signifying their efforts to address the safety and hygiene of its workspaces in a post-COVID-19 environment, instilling confidence in occupants and the broader NUS community. The WELL™ Health-Safety seal is given to the SDE4 building, Singapore’s first new-build net-zero energy building and the newly-retrofitted SDE1 building, which are located at the NUS Kent Ridge campus.

Ten months ago, the situation we face now would have seemed unthinkable. Who could have imagined that office workers would need to rebuild their cubicles at home, or that simply going to the store would become an act that requires a mask and hand sanitizer?
The COVID-19 pandemic has utterly redefined how we live, work and interact with our communities. In all likelihood, we’ll probably be dealing with the aftereffects of pandemic-induced societal trauma for years, regardless of how soon a vaccine comes to market.
With that in mind, we have to ask: How will our new quarantine state of mind shape the places in which we seclude ourselves? In a time when at-home havens feel like a necessity, city-based real estate providers have begun to consider how they can craft pandemic-proof or, at the very least, pandemic-resistant multifamily living spaces.
