Abstract

The global coronavirus pandemic of 2020 has made it clear that the existing stock of commercial buildings was not well suited to provide for the health and safety of occupants. This paper explores the primary focus areas for enhanced facility management (FM) measures creating resilient buildings in view of defence against contamination risks. The real estate ecosystem learns fast and provides new policies, technology solutions and best practices that help to build resilience. But the real value in creating resilient buildings is not only in supporting organisations to continue their operations during a next COVID-19 wave, it can be a catalyst to change the workplace to a more resilient and adaptive way of working that fits a next generation of office workers and a more connected, sustainable organisation that is resilient to more than just a next virus.
