COVID-19 Resources
The Center for Active Design, operator of Fitwel, is deeply committed to providing support throughout the rapidly-evolving COVID-19 pandemic—by staying abreast of the latest research, expanding online resources, and responding to the needs of our community. We invite you to join us in leveraging built environment strategies to slow the spread of the virus and support community resilience during this uniquely challenging moment in history.
The global spread of COVID-19 has heightened awareness of the pressing importance of Fitwel’s mission of building health for all®. With people around the world spending an increasing amount of time indoors and in their local neighborhoods, the spaces where we live, work, study, and play have shifted dramatically.
