Kimball International’s Chicago Showroom Earns WELL Certified™ Platinum Distinction
JASPER, IN., September 16, 2024 – Kimball International is proud to share that their Chicago showroom has been awarded WELL Certification at the Platinum level by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). Backed by scientific research, WELL outlines how organizations and buildings can adopt and implement features that advance human health while fostering a culture of well-being. As the highest pinnacle of health achievement, WELL Platinum signifies an important achievement and visible commitment to supporting health and well-being.
“This milestone highlights our dedication to the well-being of both our members and visitors,” said Andrea Rohleder, Senior Manager of Marketing Operations at Kimball International. “Through our commitment to creating environments that emphasize health and inclusivity, we take pride in presenting showrooms and facilities that truly make a meaningful impact.”
Kimball International earned points based on performance outcomes for various policy, design, and operational strategies including WELL’s 10 core concepts: air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community. Through this data-driven approach to health and well-being efforts, organizations collect employee feedback and monitor ongoing building performance. Individuals who visit WELL Certified spaces will feel confident that they are designed and operated to meet industry standards for health and well-being.
“Congratulations to Kimball International for achieving WELL Certification at Platinum level for its Chicago showroom, one of multiple showrooms with WELL’s pinnacle achievement for health and well-being across the United States,” said Jessica Cooper, Chief Product Officer at the International WELL Building Institute. “With this latest WELL achievement, Kimball International continues to demonstrate outstanding health leadership in the manufacturing industry and communicate its commitment to creating places where people can thrive.”
Their Chicago showroom, located in Fulton Market at 318 N. Carpenter St., 7th Floor, is their flagship space. With an expansive outdoor terrace space, the showroom offers abundant open-air environments while the interior of the space includes access to natural light.
In addition to the Chicago showroom, Kimball International’s corporate headquarters, located in Jasper, Indiana, and their Dallas and Los Angeles showrooms are also WELL Platinum certified.
