Delos, HKS to Explore Effects of the Built Environment

Delos, a wellness real estate and technology firm, today announced a partnership with HKS, an international design firm, to study and measure the impact of interventions in the built environment on human health and well-being. The new HKS and Delos partnership will focus on applied research and will build on the strengths of each company to target peer-reviewed open sourced publications, and advance Delos’ mission to transform buildings into healthier spaces.

As part of the partnership, Delos and HKS will explore collaborations between the Well Living Lab, Delos’ Applied Research Program, and a newly-opened applied research laboratory in HKS’ Dallas office. The HKS Lab will offer a facility in which the teams can test how features that are supported by basic research can be implemented in practice, and can result in improved and measurable health and well-being outcomes.
