An article on the Wellbeing Pulse website describes how environments affect adult work places (just as we know children are affected positively or negatively by the space around them):
"Research suggests that biophilia, the idea that green space and nature have a positive impact on mental health, has implications for office design. The World Green Building Council found that employees working in buildings with abundant daylight, visual access to the outdoors and good air quality had lower levels of stress than those in workplaces lacking these features. Meanwhile, views of roads and traffic have been shown to produce higher stress levels than views of nature."
