The Norton Rose Fulbright Tower in Houston, Texas has achieved the prestigious WELL Core & Shell Certification at the Platinum level, awarded by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). Focused oncreating people-centered spaces that prioritize health and well-being, the WELL Certification reflects excellence across seven key categories of building performance: Air, Water, Light, Nourishment, Fitness, Comfort, and Mind. There are currently less than 100 projects in the United States to be WELL Platinum certified. The Norton Rose Fulbright Tower completes the western edge of Discovery Green – one of Houston’s most beloved parks – incorporating elements of the green space throughout. The project features a 48,000-gallon rainwater collection tank for flushing and irrigation, with district cooling that reduces the need for a central plant. The building is projected to use 21% less energy than comparable towers, while 30% more fresh air flows through it than a typical Class A building.
