RIYADH: The headquarters of the Mohammed bin Salman Foundation, also known as the Misk Foundation, received the WELL gold certificate on Sunday for its innovative urban design.
The globally recognized certificate is given by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) which aims to encourage organizations to prioritize health and well-being through building design.
The acclaimed headquarters is in the Mohammed bin Salman Nonprofit City, also known as Misk City, in Riyadh.
The WELL certificate acknowledged that Misk's headquarters is a role model and center for innovative urban design in Saudi Arabia, committed to creating sustainable urban spaces that focus on human health and well-being.
IWBI's certificate considers various elements in the urban and building design such as air quality, water purity, light, temperature and insulation, contact with nature, and flow of movement.
The Misk Foundation's headquarters have integrated these WELL elements to provide a healthy and supportive working environment for its employees, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
This latest accomplishment is in line with Misk Foundation's current pursuit of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certificate which would further strengthen Misk's position as a model for healthy and green design in the Middle East.
