7.15.20 - First Look at 92Y Reopening Plan
First and foremost, we are committed to the health and wellness of our community. As such, we have instituted a number of important protocols so that when we see you again, whether it’s this month, next month or sometime in the future, we are ready.
'Our first step was hiring CBRE, a worldwide leader in real estate services. They have developed a COVID-19 Resource Center, dedicated to helping workplaces open up and adapt to the new circumstances in which we all find ourselves. They, along with professionals at The Center for Active Design (the leading nonprofit organization using design to foster healthy and engaged communities), have helped 92Y create a comprehensive operating manual that we are using to guide us through the reopening process. We are pleased to share it with you. You can find it on our website at 92Y.org/reopening. There, you will also find specific information on various programs and their statuses. You will also see that, as advice from health experts and government evolve, we will continuously update the document.'
'As you review our manual, you will see that it outlines the measures we have put in place to make our building as safe and health-oriented as possible during these difficult times. These changes are based on the regulations and guidance of national, state and local authorities, as well as best practices from around the world, and were developed based on information provided by the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (and similar global organizations), public health experts, industrial hygienists, and global subject matter experts.'
