Preliminary Design

This is a possible design of our green roof(Figure 1), we are still working on the layers and material of the roof. We discovered that the building's roof was enhanced for the landing of aircrafts in a time of emergency. Therefore part of the green roof will be serving as a air purifier as well as an emergency heliport! In our design, the roof will be covered by a layer of extensive green roof and pathways in between. Since the roof has been designed for the landing of aircrafts, it is enhanced with Alabama Limestone. Because of this, we know that the roof will be strong enough to hold a larger coverage of green roof. We also aim to develop the roof into a public area where people could stay and hang out.
