Advanced Green Architecture and Michigan State University Partner to Raise Awareness of Green Roof Technology
EAST LANSING, Mich. — The classroom has moved outdoors. Advanced Green Architecture (AGA) was born out of Michigan State University’s Green Roof Research Program and now has teamed up with the university to install the latest green roof on campus — one that will be viewable to many and with educational opportunities connected.
This fall, AGA will install its Advanced Green Roof™ system on a bus shelter near the MSU Student Union — one of the busiest pedestrian areas on campus. The green roof will serve as a public demonstration project, viewable to pedestrians and motorists, with the goal of raising public awareness about the many benefits of green roofs. Green roofs aid in storm water management, energy conservation, reduction of urban heat islands and increased habitat space.
