TOP RATING IN ACCESSIBILITY

AIS 5-STAR CERTIFICATION

As part of Castellana 81's commitment to accessibility and a diverse society, the building has achieved the top 5-star AIS (Accessibility Indicator System) rating in the unique building category prior to 2010.

Castellana 81 has become the first unique office building in Spain to hold the highest level of AIS certification for people with disabilities, older people and pregnant women.

Created by the ARS Foundation, the AIS certification takes into account criteria of functional diversity, both physical, sensory and cognitive, with the aim that any person, whatever their condition, can move around the building comfortably and safely.

In November 2017, the building was awarded the 2017 DIGA Accessibility Award by the Shangi-La Foundation.

Castellana 81 has implemented a series of physical, cognitive and sensory measures that have increased its usability while maintaining modern, elegant and innovative criteria, demonstrating that the inclusion of accessibility is compatible with functionality.
