Superior interior air quality is one of the most important elements in maintaining a healthy office workplace, and Shaw Tower takes this concept to new heights. The ventilation system of the building maintains a steady flow of additional fresh air, surpassing standard requirements by 30%. This dedication to air quality is a strategic investment in the health and productivity of the people who spend a major portion of their day in the building. Shaw Tower further extends its commitment to exceptional indoor air quality (IAQ) by incorporating MERV 14 filters into the ventilation system. It serves as a powerful barrier, effectively capturing small airborne particles while improving overall air purity. In addition, cutting-edge IAQ monitoring systems continuously check air quality factors, allowing for real-time modifications to achieve optimal circumstances. Furthermore, the use of UVGI filters uses ultraviolet radiation to destroy germs, providing an additional layer of protection. Using bi-polar ionisation technology improves IAQ by generating charged ions that actively filter the air, creating an atmosphere conducive to health, focus, and productivity.

Shaw Tower recognizes the complex interaction between light and the human circadian rhythm, so the building is equipped with a cutting-edge lighting control system that methodically manages illumination levels throughout the day. This advanced technology mirrors the natural flow of sunshine, creating a healthy balance in the circadian rhythm. These illumination levels further provide a smoother transition between work and rest by eliminating disturbances to the body’s circadian clock, which results in increased alertness and productivity during working hours.

Temperature and comfort are important factors for the productivity and overall well-being of individuals. The HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system in Shaw Tower prioritises both comfort and sustainability, aiming to enhance productivity and well-being for all occupants.

Shaw Tower recognises the importance of a distraction-free environment in supporting productivity and employee well-being. The architectural design and layout of the workspaces within the building, which include soundproofing/sound absorbing materials all contribute to an environment in which individuals can focus without constant interruptions. This dedication to a calm workplace guarantees that Shaw Tower stands out as a beacon for both innovation and tranquillity.

Beyond physical comforts, Shaw Tower promotes social equity, civic engagement, and accessible design to establish an inclusive and integrated community within the workplace. Shaw Tower was designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring that people of all abilities can navigate and engage fully in the work environment. It also targets the highest accolade for Building and Construction Authority (BCA)’s Universal Design Index (UDi) – A rating. Furthermore, Shaw Tower actively supports social equity and civic involvement through communal spaces.

As Shaw Tower recognises the value of an active lifestyle in maintaining comprehensive well-being, the building aims to include a gym operator offering as one of its retail tenants to inspire occupants to incorporate movement into their everyday routines. Additionally, Shaw Tower promotes active lifestyles by providing end-of-trip facilities with shower and locker facilities and extensive bicycle parking, encouraging sustainable commuting and enhancing the overall well-being of its occupants. Furthermore, Shaw Tower believes that mental wellness is equally important as physical health, thus facilities like green spaces and other artistic aspects are being incorporated within the building to create an environment that nurtures both the body and the mind.

Shaw Tower goes above and beyond to protect its occupants and the surrounding environment from exposure to dangerous materials. The building is designed to use sustainable and eco-friendly options from building materials to cleaning supplies, reducing its carbon footprint and encouraging a healthier interior atmosphere.
