WHO WE ARE
Experts, Leaders, Personable
We at Active Spaces believe that health and wellbeing is a human right. We also believe that by creating supportive physical spaces, we can improve wellbeing and performance, through a holistic and evidence-based approach
MAKING THE WORLD A HEALTHIER PLACE, ONE SPACE AT A TIME
The physical spaces where we spend our time have a great role to play in our wellbeing. Unfortunately many spaces don't quite deliver. The world has been shaken up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have changed how and where we do things and although we don't know what the post-Corona world will bring, we need to make sure it is a better place than before. We have an opportunity to make our buildings support health, wellbeing and peformance.
Active Spaces is in the business of creating great spaces that support our health and performance. We take a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach to offer guidance to organisations, so they can transition to future-proof spaces. We offer Fitwel certifications, research and consulting.
