University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning Instructional Associate Professor Bahar Armaghani has been selected by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) as a recipient of a 2022 IWBI WELL Faculty Changemaker Award, recognizing outstanding members of the WELL Faculty and WELL Accredited Professional (AP) community. As the director of Sustainability and the Built Environment (SBE) and UF’s Green Building Learning Collaborative (GBLC), Armaghani joins a cohort of honorees from around the globe who are leading the charge to revolutionize the impact our buildings, organizations and communities have on health, equity and quality of life.
“I am honored and humbled to receive this award from IWBI and be in the company of other incredible recipients,” Armaghani said. “I am very fortunate to be at UF and be able to pioneer the introduction of WELL Building Standard to our students. I believe it is the faculty’s responsibility to bring the very latest and best to our students. Sustainability in the built environment is complete with addressing the health and wellbeing of the people too, and that is what WELL provides.”
