Green roof project

Landscape architecture students at Texas A&M recently helped their professor launch a green roof experiment at the Langford Architecture Center.

Its a one-year investigation looking at four different species of plants Im trying to establish on the Langford A roof, explained Bruce Dvorak, assistant professor of landscape architecture.

Texas A&M, he said, is interested in green roofs but lacks a pilot project on campus to demonstrate what it takes to get plants established and maintain them.

I think its a groundbreaking area, because some of the outcomes would be applicable to College Station and the university, he said.
