Project Description

The new hospital green roof was designed not only for stormwater treatment, but to create a calming visual landscape for patients by replicating the local geography. The green roof visually mimics the area’s mountains, agricultural fields and Rivanna River, while increasing habitat function, treating stormwater and improving energy efficiency.
