Abstract: This paper details the process of creating a new sustainable workplace for Schrödinger’s New York City office, occupying four floors of 1540 Broadway in Times Square. The paper discusses how the project brought together a collaboration of stakeholders from Schrödinger’s leadership and HLW, including the team’s internal sustainability consultancy, BEYOND, to develop a workplace that prioritises health, well-being and the environment equally. The paper details the ambitious goals for both creativity and performance while explaining the process of pursuing three different rating systems — LEED v4 ID+C Gold, Fitwel 2 Stars and WELL Health-Safety — to solidify Schrödinger’s commitment to promoting an inspirational and ecologically conscious workplace culture.
