UCF’s Stormwater Lab:

This project was brought to life in May of 2007 with an 800 square foot greenroof.  This application was on a government building and was built to show that lightweight greenroofs can be designed and succeed in Florida.  The total saturated weight of this roof is about 20 lbs/ft² with a thickness of just 3 inches.  The plants used were 100% native and the roof is irrigated using recycled greenroof filtrate as well as gray water from a sink within the lab.  The project location is in Orland Florida at the University of Central Florida’s main campus.
