It’s a hospital, which seems to be a good location for green roofing, since the roofs are often overlooked by more patient rooms higher up. As usual, we have a sedum roof, a “Pre-Vegetated Sedum Mat” with some grasses and small trees too.
Project Name: Providence Everett Medical Center
Year: 2010
Location: Everett, WA, USA
Building Type: Healthcare
Size: 13700 sq.ft.
Slope: 1%
Access: Inaccessible, Private
Not the prettiest of green roof projects. No doubt it will fill in and be a better attraction for the patients over time.
My brother is working on a hospital project in New York. I wonder if he’s got a green roof going?

How do you know when it’s a patient room? I mean, it’s not like they tap their feet and pointedly look at their watches.
