Boston – Two offices of Amenta Emma Architects have achieved the WELL Equity Rating.
The rating validates organizations that create inclusive workplaces prioritizing health, well-being, and equitable practices. The firm’s Hartford, Conn. and Boston locations implemented 24 evidence-based strategies spanning inclusive design, health benefits, and community engagement initiatives. Building on this achievement, Amenta Emma now offers specialized consulting services to help other organizations pursue their own WELL Equity Rating.
