Olivia Business Centre has undergone the most restrictive analysis conducted by experts from the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) in New York. The safety of building users was checked, as well as solutions improving the quality of life in the business centre, also in the context of the ongoing pandemic. In each category, Olivia received the maximum score of 25 out of 25 points. It won it in 22 basic categories and 3 new ones, related to the innovations implemented in its area. This is the first such result in the world, which confirms that Gdańsk’s buildings are among the world’s top business companies.

The WELL Health-Safety Rating is a data-driven, third-party assessment of buildings that focuses on operational policies, standards of use and maintenance, stakeholder engagement and contingency plans to ensure maximum safety and comfort for occupants in the current COVID-19 environment and in the future. Many famous people from around the world have been involved in the extensive campaign to restore trust in public spaces, including Lady GaGa, Robert DeNiro, Michael Jordan, Venus Williams and many others.

WELL Health-Safety certification takes into account guidelines on the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), global centers for disease control and prevention, and emergency management agencies. Also recognized standards associations such as ASTM International and ASHRAE, and leading academic and research institutions. – Proving actions through external validation further demonstrates a commitment to people now and in the future. Our certification is based on insights from nearly 600 virologists, government officials, scientists, business leaders, architects, designers, construction scientists, and real estate professionals, as well as the WELL building standard, the world’s leading platform for the development of healthy buildings and spaces – writes Rachel Gordon, CEO of IWBI, in a congratulatory letter. – The assessment shows that Olivia Business Centre prioritises health and well-being, instilling confidence in people who frequently visit the facility and the wider community around it. –Adds.

However, WELL is above all a guarantee of extensive infrastructure that improves the quality of life and comfort of every building user. The dominant trend in the design of modern buildings, which in a sustainable way takes into account a holistic approach to the needs related to health, well-being and comfort of use.

Over the last year, Olivia Business Centre has implemented a number of solutions that position it as a leader in the field of wellbeing. In the summer, Residents meet on the patio, there are very popular sports sections, and exhibitions of paintings, photographs and sculptures are organized. Soon, a public, year-round garden will be put into use. All these events and amenities can be used by Olivia’s residents and guests in a safe way, thanks to the solutions used, which have been highly appreciated by the certifying institution.

It was one of the first office centers in the world to implement ion air purification technology in its buildings , which has so far been used in the world’s most prestigious facilities, including the White House, the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi, as well as in Gulfstream private jets. The installed devices saturate all rental areas with ions that have the ability to destroy viruses, bacteria and other pathogens in the ventilated air. The air purification process takes place continuously while people are in the room, so the fight against the pathogen begins from the moment it appears in the room.

“We put the safety and quality of life of the users of our spaces as an absolute priority, which is why we were happy to undergo such an important certification, conducted by a well-known certification body in the real estate world, for which the comfort and well-being of people using the space is a priority ,” says Konrad Danecki from the investor’s supervision of Olivia Business Centre. – During the preparations, we set ourselves the goal of meeting the requirements down to the smallest detail, assuming that we would receive the maximum score in all categories. We are proud that we have achieved this goal in 100% and that we are one of the first buildings to join the campaign to restore normality and freedom of movement in public buildings. The WELL Building Standard is the world’s most important tool for promoting healthy buildings and human-friendly spaces. Such a high rating is a testament to Olivia’s health and well-being being being a priority, instilling confidence in those who visit our facilities and the wider community –Adds.

In the common parts of the buildings (elevators, lobbies, access paths to garage halls) active titanium coatings have been used, creating surfaces free from pathogenic microorganisms. Bacteria, fungi and viruses are eliminated and their residues are broken down into carbon dioxide and water. The coating, which was developed by the Polish company Lumichem and scientists from the Jagiellonian University, has been used in all eight office buildings in the Oliwa city centre.

In addition, the air filtration level has been increased from G4 to F7 in air handling units, which is the highest level of filtration currently available. Sensors for VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and particulate matter (PM) pollution were installed. Thanks to this, it is possible to monitor air purity and, as a result, eliminate harmful compounds from the fresh air drawn in from the outside and forced inside the buildings. Systems for controlling the intensity of air exchange based on the knowledge of current CO2 measurement results have also been installed, which contributes to a significant increase in the comfort of staying in the workplace. As part of the strategy implemented in Olivia Business Centre, additional solutions have also been prepared to increase the safety of office employees: sterilizers of entry cards have been purchased, elevator settings have been changed, so that in the stand by mode, the lift cabin remains open, allowing more fresh air to enter it.

By undergoing such detailed certification, Olivia has achieved the safety and quality of life status that characterizes the most prestigious buildings in the world. At the same time, it gives a strong signal announcing the possibility of returning to the life that everyone knew before the pandemic, which means face-to-face social and professional meetings, or participation in interesting live events, without health concerns.

The Oliwa Budget(OBS) is a project of financial support for initiatives submittedby residentsGdańsk Oliwa. Its aim is to raise the quality of the the modernisation of the surroundingspace and the introduction of solutions that will develop the local interactions.

OgTresults, as in the case of theTIn the year of theęGoing onę Over time śWięThis neighbourhood – Viva Oliwa, which is scheduled forTOwę SepśIn the case of the Netherlands

As in the first edition, also this year the pool of funds allocated for co-financed projects will amount to 18 thousand zlotys. 12,000 was donated by Olivia Business Centre, and 6,000 by Andrzej Stelmasiewicz, a councillor of the City of Gdańsk from the area of Oliwa. Both soft projects (organization of meetings, courses or workshops) and infrastructure projects that will permanently fit into the character of the Oliwa space can apply for funding. The call for applications in this year’s edition starts at the beginning of July, and you can submit them until the end of the summer holidays.

In last year’s edition, three projects were co-financed: proposed by a group of parents from Oliwa to expand the library with a children’s department, a project of the City Initiative and Special Schools Complex No. 2, under which a map of Oliwa is created with the greatest attractions of the district marked, and those less popular, but worth seeing, as well as catering outlets, cafes and numerous service outlets. Importantly, the project concerned the tourism and catering industry, which have been very much affected by the Sars COV-2 pandemic, so their promotion will also support Oliwa entrepreneurs in the period when they start their business again. The third project that received funding was the concept of Arte-creation, submitted by the Association for People with Parkinson’s Disease and Degenerative Brain Diseases and Caregivers: Park On. As part of the project, funding was granted to conduct 18 art and ceramics workshops with elements of art therapy for people who, due to their age or the consequences of a progressive degenerative brain disease, are at risk of depression, loss of fitness, and a sense of exclusion. In addition, the works prepared during the workshops had their exhibition in the lobby of Olivia Star, the tallest building of Olivia Business Centre.
