Immersive Sustainable Education
GREEN’s efforts have resulted in a significant body of work evaluating living architecture systems in areas such as volume and quality of stormwater runoff, plant performance, maintenance, biodiversity, thermal characteristics, weight loads, wind uplift and new green roof technologies. See our ResearchGate profiles to access directly some of our presentations and publications.
SIUE has a variety of research sites and green infrastructure on the main campus, many of which are shown on the following overview map. Research sites include the original research green roof on the Engineering Building laboratory wing, a ground-level field site, and the 16,000-square-foot Student Success Center green roof.
