Spark C First Building in Poland to Achieve WELL Core & Shell Certification

Spark C, the office building located in the Wola district of Warsaw, Poland, and built by Skanska, has just received one of the most demanding certificates – the WELL Core & Shell Certification. After obtaining WELL certification for the commercial interior, granted to the office space on the 5th floor in Spark, the entire core and shell of the building has now been deemed a healthy and comfortable place to work. This is the first such distinction in Poland and the second in Central and Eastern Europe.

The WELL Building Standard, developed and delivered by the International WELL Building Institute, is a certification system that assesses over 100 building features in terms of their impact on people’s health and physical and mental well-being by measuring the quality of office space. It is a holistic approach to the health, well-being and the comfort of users of office buildings, and a complement to green building standards.

The five floors of the Spark office building, occupied by the Skanska group, also received the LEED Commercial Interior  certificate at the Platinum level with the outstanding score – 90 points, the most in the CEE region. Thus, the building already has five certificates. In addition to WELL Core & Shell, WELL New & Existing Interiors, LEED C&S and LEED CI, the building also holds the Building without Barriers certificate, awarded by the Integration Foundation.
