TRIL’s Ramanujan Intellion Park is Platinum WELL Core certified

Leading the way for healthy workspaces, Ramanujan Intellion Park achieves the highest level of healthy building certification under Well v2.

Tata Realty & Infrastructure Ltd.’s (TRIL) Intellion offices announce the two major buildings in its commercial portfolio achieving the prestigious WELL Core certifications by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). TRIL has achieved WELL designations across its entire portfolio, including WELL Pre-certification for seven buildings, and WELL Health-Safety Rating for three buildings. Ramanujan Intellion Park, Chennai campus is at the forefront of all WELL achievements which has been awarded the Platinum level WELL Core Certification. The outstanding WELL Core Certification was awarded through IWBI’s WELL v2, the latest version of the WELL Building Standard, the world’s leading framework to design, build and operate healthy places.  Remarkably, they stand as the first buildings in the country to accomplish this highest level of WELL Certification, among the top 100 projects globally with this distinction.

WELL is the premier building standard to focus on enhancing people’s health and well-being through the buildings where we live, work, learn, and play. These achievements signify TRIL’s dedication to occupants’ well-being and lead to future certification across the entire park.

Ramanujan Intellion Park is a 4.7 mn sqft. IT/ITeS campus in Chennai with an integrated Taj Wellington Mews (112 key serviced apartments and a 1500 seater convention centre). The campus also has a 4.6-acre green and pedestrian-friendly podium-style development with over 45000 employees across 38 companies. Ramanujan Intellion Park is also the first campus in India to be an IFC EDGE zero carbon campus.

TATA Realty and Infrastructure Ltd.’s commitment to WELL extends beyond Ramanujan Intellion Park. TRIL is among the global leaders to participate WELL at scale, applying health-focused strategies across its entire commercial portfolio. Both Intellion Parks in Mumbai and Gurugram have secured WELL Gold Precertification, demonstrating their consistent dedication to creating healthy and productive work environments. Additionally, to ensure occupant health and safety within workplaces, Intellion Edge, Gurugram and Intellion Square, Mumbai successfully achieved the WELL Health and Safety Rating from IWBI, a program that validates and rewards excellence in operational policies and procedures to advance occupant health and safety, and advance building’s long-term pliability.

WELL is a performance-based certification system that espouses best practices in design and construction with evidence-based scientific research created through seven years of rigorous research and development working with leading physicians, scientists, and industry professionals. Ramanujan Intellion Park earned the distinction based on ten categories of building performance—Air, Water, Light, Nourishment, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind and Community —and achieved a WELL Core Certification at the Platinum level. IWBI is the leading authority for transforming health and well-being with its people-first approach to buildings, organisations and communities.

“We are honoured to be the first in India to receive the Platinum level of WELL Core Certification. This prestigious recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to prioritising the health and well-being of our occupants. While we celebrate this achievement, we are also dedicated to extending our efforts across all our assets, ensuring that our Intellion Parks in Mumbai and Gurugram provide healthy and productive work environments with WELL Gold Precertification. As we continue to prioritise sustainability and human-centric design, we remain steadfast in our commitment to creating spaces that inspire and nurture well-being.” says Sanjay Dutt, MD & CEO at Tata Realty & Infrastructure Ltd.

TRIL goes beyond the mandatory standards to achieve these impressive distinctions. Some of their approaches:

Superior Air Quality: MERV 13 filters, UV lamps in air handling units, and low-VOC materials diminish organic gasses, creating a healthier breathing environment.

Exceptional Drinking Water Quality: Strict testing and management practices guarantee that every drinking water sources meet severe quality thresholds specified by the WELL Building Standard.

Mould Prevention: To handle any possible problems on-site, a plan for monitoring and managing moisture and mould is put into place.

Focus on Health & Wellness: Activities and programmes for nutritional education actively encourage healthy habits and a holistic way of living.

Promoting Movement:  Throughout the workday, the usage of the stairs and physical exercise are encouraged by well-designed staircases that have clear signs and artwork to create a welcoming ambience.

Optimised Acoustics: Meeting WELL-mandated reverberation time testing standards guarantees pleasant sound levels in a variety of areas, fostering a concentrated and effective work atmosphere.

“By achieving Platinum level WELL Core Certification for its Ramanujan Intellion Park in the Chennai campus, Tata Realty and Infrastructure demonstrates leadership in advancing health and well-being at workplaces,” says Prateek Khanna, Chief Operating Officer at IWBI. “Its approach to workplace wellness through the WELL at scale pathway sets an example to transform the healthy building market and models an optimal strategy for other real estate owners and operators to emulate in India.”

Occupant health is given first priority in all IWBI-certified projects, which has a major positive effect. They are a strong international standard that is performance-based and recognises excellent practices with an emphasis on occupant well-being. Given that only about 100 projects out of 74,000 locations worldwide that use WELL techniques to enhance tenant well-being have received WELL Core Certification at the Platinum level, Tata Realty’s feat is all the more impressive.
