Research Themes

Founded as a collaboration of Delos and Mayo Clinic, the Well Living Lab brings together building science and health science to inform research on optimizing indoor environments to promote human health and well-being.

The team at the Well Living Lab uses our key themes - Healthy Living, Healthy Working, and Healthy Aging - to conduct innovative research and help us find answers to improve the lives of people where they live, work, learn and play.
