Abstract
It has been hypothesized that work requiring intense direct attention is more
efficient if the workplace is surrounded by certain restorative qualities of nature. If this
is the case, then universities and high tech business parks – typical environments for
intense creativity, concentration and innovative productivity – should benefit from
such green restorative qualities.
I believe this aspect must be considered much more carefully in professional
environmental work. This paper presents a relevant research background and a
method for evaluating important outdoor environmental characteristics. The method
developed here is applied to the highest ranked Swedish research university:
Karolinska Institute, Stockholm.
