A value engineering success story! The LiveRoof system was originally value engineered from this project due to budget reasons. The TPO roof was constructed to meet specs for the LiveRoof system. After the roof was completed the building owners noticed how the TPO roof detracted from the 2nd and 3rd story views. James Greenroofs worked with the architects to develop multiple plant mixes, custom drainage designs, and maintenance access paths. The result is a beautiful green roof that transformed an eye sore into a flowering oasis. People visiting the Ronald McDonald facility enjoy seating areas and an indoor treehouse where the green roof is visible.
