Early in the planning process, projects facilitate collaborative discussion with key stakeholders, including (as applicable): the owner, manager, facilities management team, architects, engineers, employees, occupants, residents, contractors and community members.

LUMNIA indicated they conduct a "stakeholder charrette from the very beginning of the design project till the end of construction of the building."
The design process likely involved stakeholder engagement, celebrating local culture, and aligning organizational objectives with health promotion.
This feature encourages collective ownership and well-being through design.
