Green Roof

Example of a green roof design

I’m very excited because I’ve been asked to join the committee to help plan and build a green roof on my daughter’s elementary school. Not only will I learn all about the technology of green roofs, but I will also try my hand at researching and writing grants. The price tag is estimated at about 2 million dollars, so wish me luck!

There will be native plants, veggies for the cafeteria, a covered classroom area, a bathroom and I heard something about a climbing wall. It sounds amazing and I can’t wait to dive into the project.

  2. Hi Jerry,
    I don’t know the answer to your question. An architect could give you an estimate. One of the women who is working on the project with me just had her roof in Brooklyn turned into a green roof. If you live in the New York area I could put you in touch with her.
