The environmentally friendly green roof was made possible thanks to grant funding and some unique engineering by the school’s landscape design program.
“This new green roof project at the University of Delaware is a great example of the power of public-private partnerships,” Carper said. “With support from the state of Delaware, DuPont and the University of Delaware, this project is helping to lower energy use, clean the air and teach sustainable environmental practices to future generations at the same time.”
