Listen "The WELL Building Standard: Managing The Spine for health and wellbeing"
Episode Synopsis
What does it really take to run one of the UK’s healthiest buildings?
AHR’s Robert Hopkins talks to Cathy Hardman, Workplace Manager at the Royal College of Physicians, about the day-to-day reality of operating The Spine — a WELL Platinum-certified building in Liverpool.
They explore how human-centric design translates into building management, from real-time air and temperature monitoring to water quality, sustainable materials, and the building’s role in supporting staff wellbeing and culture.
Cathy shares practical insights, surprising challenges (including puppy yoga!), and lessons for anyone managing or designing workplaces with health at their core.
