Brodies' new HQ given platinum WELL certificate

27th July 2023 | practice management

The Edinburgh headquarters of Brodies has become the first project in Scotland to achieve a top rating for health and wellbeing, the law firm claimed today.

WELL certification at the platinum level has been awarded to Brodies' office in the capital by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), in recognition of its health and wellbeing considerations for colleagues and visitors.

The status was awarded to the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of Capital Square in Edinburgh's Exchange District, which Brodies has occupied since January 2022.

The WELL standard is a global rating system for buildings, interior spaces and communities that recognises the characteristics of built spaces and their impact on the health and wellbeing of occupants. It measures seven attributes that impact health – air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.

The Capital Square building is also designed to a BREEAM "excellent" rating, EPC A and to the British Council of Offices standard for a "category A" building. Earlier this year, the latter body awarded Brodies the best fit out in Scotland for Capital Square – features of which include a range of flexible collaboration spaces, individual work areas and spaces for hosting seminars, training sessions, virtual courtrooms and podcast recordings.

Nick Scott, Brodies’ managing partner, commented: "Our firm's investment in Capital Square is underpinned by a commitment to embracing new ways of working in the years ahead. It is a tangible example of our investment in our colleagues and their careers. Having an office that is designed to enhance the health and wellbeing of all those who work in and visit our premises is key to delivering our firm's strategic plans and this award-winning standard is now something we are bringing to our other locations.

"The WELL certification at platinum level is testament to the premium design and build skills of Capital Square's creators. Their vision has enabled us to deliver on those things that we consider to be important for our colleagues, and for our clients, now and in the future."
