BPA Green Roof – Construction Updates

by Jason King

Some updated photos of the Bonneville Power Administration Building Green Roof, currently in the last stages of construction.  Progress has been swift on Levels 5, 6, and 7, with pavers, edging, growing media, and plantings coming in, to be quickly followed by irrigation and completion of the large fourth floor roof.   See below for some in-progress images of the work happening on-site.
