Studies show the environment you live in impacts your COVID mortality risk. Over the last few years we’ve been innovating technologies to better understand how the environment (indoor/outdoor) impacts our health, wellness & overall performance. #AirAngel advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/45/e…

This week our friends at Cemrock are hard at work creating rockwork paths and ledges for the upcoming Snow Leopard habitat @SFZoo. The rockwork is designed for the leopards to jump, perch and nap for maximum feline enjoyment and wellness. Stay tuned for the “after” photo!

Shout out to @OUSD and Oakland voters on passing Measure Y, a critical facility bond supporting Oakland public school kids. Proud that the bond builds on the district’s collaboration with @MKThink1 on the 2020 Facility Master Plan #facilities #oakland #bond #timwhite

Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. #Americathebeautiful youtu.be/xJc_SRsbGS0

The research from MKThink's work with Hawaii Natural Energy Institute made it clear we must better understand humans if we want a shot at operating buildings that achieve high performance. #healthybuildings #energyefficiency facilityexecutive.com/2020/10/energy…

Beyond pleased to share a progress shot of the Snow Leopard Habitat expansion currently under construction at the San Francisco Zoo. Come by next year when the cats are all moved in. Great work, team!

Honoring these beautiful cats today. Happy World Snow Leopards Day.

Totally agree with the premise behind this @LATimes story. “The time to reassess our built world is now, not after the next catastrophe.” latimes.com/entertainment-…

During Shelter in place, cities in America have recorded 15-30% reductions in carbon monoxide, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and black carbon. Post pandemic, it’s up to us to make sure we keep this #sustainability going. phys.org/news/2020-04-c…

Our world is changing and fortunately people are realizing the need for safer, cleaner and healthier communities. Join the movement around building less and solving more. @MKThink1 #BuildLessSolveMore. mkthink.com

Great example of how #architecture, if done right, can empower women to embrace STEM. smh.com.au/business/compa…

As this article points out, “there must be a vision of a better future where our lives are less defined by work and where our freedom to live well is extended.” @ConversationUS theconversation.com/coronavirus-sh…

Great points in this article! We don’t need to abandon our #sustainability objectives to develop new ways to live and work post #pandemic. campaignlive.com/article/redesi…

Sign-us up for the resistance! At both @Roundhouseone and @MKthink1, we believe #architects should be making the world a better, more beautiful place, not just lining their pockets. @newrepublic newrepublic.com/article/156859…

It’s great that air quality is benefitting from #COVID-19, but can we keep it up after things start moving again? Monitoring air quality, and mitigating when the data tells you to, is not that difficult. #AirAngel air quality monitors can help. cnn.com/videos/world/2…

Great examples that the world is finally taking #sustainable #architecture seriously, @CNN highlights 18 of the best examples. Now let’s focus on building LESS, not more. cnn.com/style/article/…

To come back to work in a safe and healthy way, we need to put the science and data in #architecture and design. Only when we can observe and quantify how people actually use the space, can we adapt/adjust our models and plans. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/c…

Thanks to @SFBusinessTimes for the opportunity to highlight our changing workplace and how rather than just building more, we should strive to Solve More. @MKThink bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/c…

Great Op Ed in @SFBusinessTimes from @MKthink1 and @Roundhouseone founder @Millermkthink. We need to start planning NOW for how we work, learn and live safely and flexibly post #shelterinplace. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/c…
