ASID HQ Earns Both LEED and WELL Platinum Certification
The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) headquarters office in Washington D.C., has achieved both platinum level certification for the WELL Building Standard (WELL) v1 and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ID+C. The office space, designed by Perkins+Will, incorporates health and wellness and sustainable design features.
“At ASID, we take tremendous pride in being a champion for good design and demonstrating that design impacts lives–to be the first space awarded WELL Certified Platinum under WELL v1 and LEED Certified Platinum is an incredible honor,” said Randy W. Fiser, CEO of ASID. “We began this project with a clear goal of showcasing the many ways design can positively affect the health and well-being of employees while boosting resource efficiency. At ASID, we believe in research-based results in design and placed an emphasis on third-party validation of the space. Becoming WELL Certified Platinum and LEED Certified Platinum is the product of revolutionary visioning from the project designer Perkins+Will, commitment from our construction partners and consultants, and complete buy-in from ASID staff.”
