The impact of the coronavirus pandemic has upended everything, even people’s trust in the place and spaces where they work. It is very challenging for the one who designs and develops office buildings around the world. It is very essential to convince those who return to the office about the hygiene and safety measures in the buildings. The challenges are mostly faced by developers, building managers, and office tenants. According to a recent survey, it is said that the fundamental outlook of the comfort level in public places is not quite as before the COVID-19. It is essential to plan the new reality of your office interior and design it parallel to the public health community. There must be an immediate bride phase or guidance on physical distancing changes from six feet to other larger dimensions on the working environments and they need to be adaptive. It is also important to understand the post-pandemic world and plan for the bridge phase. It may be time-consuming to document the performance and completely review it, so here are some of the procedures that can be done in short. Rethinking of meeting spaces: The immediate solution is rethinking the people congregating in the office space.

When the employees return after the lockdown period it is necessary for them to be more likely to use the conference room with half of the people to accommodate it. The other employees can join the meeting virtually without huddling in the small conference rooms. Cleaning protocols: It is necessary to circulate protocols and hand sanitizers, hand washing, and wiping down hard surfaces with the help of disinfectant wipes. Thus keeping these in an appropriate place will help the employees to safeguard them from germs and viruses.

It is also important to look that they must be comfortable with the protocol that is being followed.

To have a controlling measure that will help in filtering and destroying bacteria and viruses for indoor environments. The best recommendation is to add UV lights to the air handlers that will purify the air and provide a safe and healthy indoor surrounding. Displaying of the safety measures: The developers are taking immediate steps to measure the indoor quality of the air and the cleanliness of the environment at various points in the building. These safety measures can be passed via tenants and the display can be kept at the differing location of the offices like lobby, interface points like elevators, and others. The safety guidelines can be pushed over the application where the tenant will be able to download it on their mobile phone. There can also be indoor grades like health inspections and cleanliness grades. Basophilic designing elements: To make healthier office environments is to bring plant life that can be a board effort by adding elements of nature to the working environment.
