On September 6, we are jumping for cystic fibrosis patients!

On September 8, we celebrate World Cystic Fibrosis Day and on this occasion the Polish Society for the Fight against Cystic Fibrosis in Gdańsk organizes the 6th edition of the #PrzeskoczMukowiscydozę campaign. September has been declared Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month and our Resident, Energa from the ORLEN Group, has also joined the series of educational events.
Together with Energa, we invite you to participate in the skipping rope challenge.
This symbolic gesture is an expression of support for all those suffering from this incurable disease.

 

 

Come to the Olivia Centre patio on September 6 at 10:00 a.m. and… Jump rope with us!

 

 

 

#PrzeskoczMukowiscydozę – the whole of Poland is jumping for cystic fibrosis patients!

 

The campaign, organized as part of the World Cystic Fibrosis Day, aims to motivate patients to a simple physical activity – jumping rope.
Such activity is an excellent form of physiotherapy for people struggling with cystic fibrosis.
When jumping, mucus is detached from the lungs and it is possible to cough it up.
Let’s show the sick support, let’s move, and thus motivate them to be active!
The campaign also aims to raise public awareness of cystic fibrosis.
In our country, approx.
2000 people, 30% are adults and 70% are children.

 

Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, incurable disease, which means that it accompanies the patient throughout his life.

 

The everyday life of cystic fibrosis patients is:

  • multidisciplinary team of specialists: paediatrician, internist, pulmonologist, microbiologist, physiotherapist, dietician, psychologist, geneticist, nurse
  • time-consuming inhalations several times a day
  • taking a very large amount of medication every day
  • taking pancreatic enzymes before each meal
  • respiratory physiotherapy, drainage
  • Prevention of bacterial infections
  • hospitalizations
  • transplant treatment

Let’s go to the city! Lower Town: Szafarnia – Angel Causeway – Long Gardens

Getting to know the Lower Town!

 

What is Gdańsk like seen away from tourist paths? What stories and secrets escape the authors of publicly available guides? You can find out during alternative city science walks, to which “Local Guides” invite you.

 

The centre of Gdańsk is not only a frequently visited, beaten track of the Royal Route.
It is also its south-eastern part called the Lower Town, cut off a little years ago by the thoroughfare of Podwale Przedmiejskie.
This is the part of the city where most of the old buildings from the nineteenth century are located, as well as the elements of the city’s fortifications that have survived to this day – bastions and a moat, as well as authentic, also nineteenth-century barracks.
It is a place that encapsulates the history of assembling American passenger cars…

 

Route: Szafarnia – Na Stępce – Dziewanowskiego – Angielska Grobla – Seredyńskiego – Długie Ogrody

 

Meeting point: at the corner of ul.
Sheds and Long Gardens (6/14 Długie Ogrody Street), 5:30 p.m.

 

Guide: Izabela Szepska

Local Guides and

 

It is an initiative that brings together the inhabitants of Gdańsk who show around the lesser-known corners of the city with passion, knowledge and commitment. Each walk is carried out according to the original scenario of the guide. During it, you can hear about the surrounding nature and architecture, learn about the history of the district, look into its secret places usually known only to residents. Guides talk about literary inspirations or artistic threads related to a given place, and their narratives are often embellished with personal notes.

 

Walks allow you to get to know the city from a different side. It happens that the stories told by the guide surprise the oldest residents of a given district. Tourists, on the other hand, appreciate the “insider” knowledge of the guides, which reveals the atmosphere of the place to them and allows them to delve deeper into the specificity of the city. More about Local Guides

 

The organizer of the project is the City Culture Institute – a local government cultural institution that creates events for and with the participation of residents. Its aim is to increase the role of culture in the life of the city and to develop local identity. For more events, please visit www.ikm.gda.pl.

Olivia Gastro Park. Through the stomach to the heart of the residents

The awarding of two restaurants from the Olivia Centre with the prestigious laurels of the Michelin culinary guide was widely publicized in the media all over the country.
The star, which is the highest distinction in the world of gastronomy, was won by the Arco by Paco Perez restaurant, and the Treinta y Tres restaurant won the Bib Gourmand distinction.
Both restaurants are located on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star and are run by internationally renowned chefs – the Spaniard Paco Perez and the Italian Antonio Arcieri.

 

However, managing gastronomy in a business center is a challenge that poses an even higher degree of challenge to managers on a daily basis than running a fine-dining restaurant.
Such restaurants provide the necessary prestige for such a place and are perfect for celebrating special celebrations, both corporate and private.
The key to culinary success in a business center where as many as 15 thousand people work.
The employees seem to be not only of high quality, but also diversity, allowing them to escape from everyday monotony and repetitiveness, which is why there are as many as 12 restaurants and smaller catering outlets operating in Olivia Centre.

 

At the heart of such a wide range of food and beverage products is the belief that its quality is one of the factors influencing the assessment of the workplace.
What’s more, good, quality nutrition and a varied diet are the basis of well-being and translate into work efficiency.
Certainly, providing this to 15,000 employees is not an easy challenge, but such a number of potential guests is a considerable market potential, and the example of Olivia Centre shows that it can be done well.

 

– We are fully aware that the vast majority of Olivia’s employees regularly use the offer of catering facilities that await in our centre, which is why this is one of the areas that we are trying to take care of.
Even if not on an ongoing basis, at least at the stage of selecting culinary concepts, we want to ensure the greatest possible variety and quality
– says Maciej Kotarski from Olivia Centre.
We are aware that tastes are very diverse, but they can also be changeable, which is why we try to ensure that the proposals available in Olivia allow us to provide interesting culinary options not only in terms of dishes, but also the forms and times of the day in which they are offered.
We have managed to provide original breakfast, lunch and evening concepts, as well as a variety of formulas: from casual bars, confectioneries and classic cafes to prestigious restaurants awarded by the Michelin guide.

 

 

 

The latest of the points that are available in Olivia is Zachcianki – a café combined with a bistro, where original breakfasts, lunches and desserts are offered.
As Ewa Kowalska, co-owner of Zachcianki, emphasizes , their offer is unique on the Tri-City market: Dishes are prepared on the spot, and cakes are baked in a workshop in Wrzeszcz.
We use simple, natural ingredients that everyone has at home, but what distinguishes us is that we show the full ingredients – so that the customer knows exactly what they are eating and we do not do it only for desserts, but we also show the full ingredients and nutritional values for savoury dishes.
This is an unusual approach on the Tri-City market for now, but we hope that this will change.
We wanted Wanting to be a place where you can slow down for a moment, take a breath and remind yourself that you have to take care of yourself, that you have to be kind to yourself.
That it is worth fulfilling your whims.
And we can see that it works well – despite the holidays, we have more and more guests.
They drop by for specifics, for a cake with coffee and for informal meetings.

 

Olivia offers such food outlets as KOKU sushi bar, Natka bistro, Starbucks, Lobster restaurant, Work Cafe Santander and Gorąco Polecam café combined with coworking space.
As Maciej Kotarski emphasizes, the variability of preferences requires the creation of a well-thought-out and diverse, but also flexible offer: In Olivia, the answer to this is the multitude of premises and the selection of proposals, which takes place already at the stage of signing their lease agreements.
After years of operation, we already have experience that allows us to predict what the reception of individual proposals may be, and we also make sure not to create internal competition that may affect the situation of our existing tenants.
Therefore, we would certainly not launch two sushi establishments or two pizzerias.

 

Olivia Centre sets the development of attractiveness for the inhabitants of the Tri-City and tourists 7 days a week and after 5.00 p.m. as one of its goals.
It is for this reason that attractions such as observation deck at 32 floors. Olivia Star, Olivia Garden or the conference and event center on the 34th floor of the tallest building in northern Poland.
Thanks to this, Olivia quickly became a destination for trips, a place where you can spend a Friday evening at a disco, shanty or jazz concert.
The largest Polish business centre already has theatre performances and concerts by such stars of the Polish scene as Krystyna Janda, Leszek Możdżer, Daria Zawiałow, Mrozu and Krzysztof Zalewski. Over 1700 events take place annually in Olivia , so it can be considered that Olivia has already become one of the most attractive places not only for work, but also for the cultural and entertainment life of the Tri-City. This is also confirmed by the award of the Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, awarded to Olivia on the occasion of the International Tourism Day for expanding the tourist offer of Pomerania with non-obvious projects at an exceptional level.
It is the only award that has been awarded to office buildings for the development of the tourist offer of a given region.

 

The new buildings of Olivia, the construction of which is already being prepared, will additionally increase the demand for services offered in Olivia, so it is possible that the proposals in this largest Polish business center will expand even more.
The most important thing, however, is that Olivia remains a friendly center, open to residents and guests from all over the world, not only during the center’s opening hours.

Olivia Centre is all over WELL

For the first time, Olivia Centre has obtained WELL Health-Safety Rating certificates for all its buildings.
What is more, 7 buildings of the largest business centre in Gdańsk retained the world’s first maximum score, obtaining 25 out of 25 possible points in 22 basic and 3 additional categories related to innovation.

 

The certification granted by the International Well Building Institute in New York is issued on the basis of criteria created by 600 scientists, business leaders, medics, architects, designers, government officials, real estate specialists, as well as standards in construction.
Its main goal is to verify the user-friendliness of the facilities, care for their well-being based on the latest technological solutions, but also takes into account the so-called
“soft criteria”, such as improving the quality of life and work, promoting healthy practices and initiatives to build an active and cooperative community of residents.
The criteria are focused on the following categories: cleanliness and safety of the workspace and common areas, safety of users and standards of preparedness in crisis situations, availability of health care, ensured high class of air and water quality, communication (internal – addressed to employees and external – addressed to all types of external stakeholders) and innovations.

 

– WELL HSR certification for our entire business centre is a very clear message for all its current and future residents: if you work in Olivia, you can be sure that the environment in which you are located meets the most restrictive global standards – says Konrad Danecki from the investor’s supervision of Olivia Centre.
To be more specific: if you set yourself the goal of being in an environment that cares for your employees, promotes activity, health and cooperation, and besides, in the background, in a non-invasive way for users, ensures safety, stability of functioning and development, and supports residents in their initiatives for well-being, promotion and cooperation, then Olivia is the place where everything is located, what you are looking for.

 

Among the factors that prove the utmost care for the comfort, satisfaction, health and safety of people staying at Olivia Centre, there are initiatives implemented in the field of employee well-being, which include numerous interest and passion development clubs, seasonal projects organized on Olivia’s patio, sports sections, exhibitions of paintings, photographs or sculptures made by resident employees and a publicly available, year-round exotic garden, in which there are 4 thousand plants reaching up to 11 meters in height.
Initiatives that employees can use are appreciated, and which are unique opportunities on a global scale.
Certainly one of them is the Olivia Centre Choir, which recorded its first album and has already started concerts in numerous concert halls.
Valuable initiatives also include running clubs, cycling clubs, photography and film courses, and even plant care courses.
From the technical solutions, m.in were taken into account.
the technology of air purification with ions implemented in Olivia, thanks to which all surfaces of the center are continuously free of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens in the air ventilated into the rooms.
This is a technology that has previously been used in the world’s most prestigious facilities, which include the White House, the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi, as well as Gulfstream private jets.
This is done in parallel with raising the level of air filtration to the highest levels currently available and installing sensors for Volatile Organic Compounds and particulate matter (PM).

 

– Once again, we are convinced that commitment to the well-being of our centre’s employees brings measurable results – says Bogusław Wieczorek, the representative of the management board of Olivia Centre.
The result obtained is a signal for a wide range of stakeholders: employees of companies that they can feel safe in Olivia, because we care about their well-being, and for potential customers it means that by choosing Olivia they can count on a number of added values, which are implemented with a view to the development of their business, supporting their attractiveness in the eyes of contractors and future employees.
The WELL HSR certificate obtained at such a high level is for us both an appreciation of our efforts, but also a clear signal for business that Olivia is the best business center where it is worth doing business.

– Implementing appropriate procedures and taking related actions allowed us to obtain the WELL Health-Safety Rating badge, but it is worth noting that this is a badge that can be obtained after achieving 15 points, i.e. meeting 15 selected from the list of requirements.
Our score – 25 points for each building – is a perfect proof that Olivia’s team is committed to ensuring that our buildings and spaces are conducive to the comfort, well-being, health and safety of users in the best possible way. –
Agata Kwapisiewicz, ESG Officer.
