Muskegon Community College Displays Committment to GREEN with LiveRoof brand green roof installation

Muskegon Community College's LiveRoof® brand green roof was the focus of a press conference last week highlighting the institution's commitment to green initiatives.  The nearly 7000 sq ft green roof installed by Twin Lakes Nursery in September 2009 and designed by Tower Pinkster Titus Associates Inc.

The green roof incorporates several different plant mixes planted in 4" deep and 6" deep trays.  Each mix was pregrown at LiveRoof, LLC in Spring Lake, MI, and then was shipped and installed according to a specific layout to create a dramatic, quilt-like pattern.

The plants were havested and grown in Spring Lake, MI.  The trays were manufactured from recycled polypropylene in Grand Haven, MI.  The engineered soil components were sourced from the Great Lakes region and were blended in Muskegon, MI.
