The green roof at the Middlebury College Squash Center is designed as an extension of the green athletic fields surrounding the center.
The green roof at the Middlebury College Squash Center is designed as an extension of the green athletic fields surrounding the center.

Middlebury, VT (PRWEB) August 20, 2014 -- A living, planted roof system is currently being installed atop Middlebury College’s new Squash Center. The LiveRoof® Hybrid Green Roof System was selected for the living roof system, which should be completed by Friday, August 22.

The plants beautify and naturally cool the building, allowing for a more comfortable playing space for the athletes.

The new Squash Center opened last fall, with expanded playing space that has allowed for growth of the Middlebury Squash program. Men’s and women’s teams are able to practice simultaneously; the college is able to host more matches and tournaments, and the varsity athletes use the space to host training clinics for local youth.

“The green roofs help contribute toward our initiatives to provide a sustainable living and learning environment for our students,” said Mark Gleason, the squash center project manager with Middlebury College.

According to Gleason, “The plants and soil on the rooftop help to retain and filter rainfall, reducing demand on local water treatment facilities and impact on nearby waterways. In addition, the plants beautify and naturally cool the building, allowing for a more comfortable playing space for the athletes at a reduced air conditioning cost.”

The modular green roof system will be delivered fully grown by Prides Corner Farms, the regional grower for the LiveRoof system, and will be installed by Apex Green Roofs. The green roof was designed by ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge to look like an extension of the greenery of the athletic playing fields which surround the squash center.

“The green roof uses locally sourced plants and soil and was custom grown under our care,” said Jim Costello of Prides Corner Farms. “The day that it is installed, the plants will be fully mature, which will provide instant gratification with low maintenance requirements.”

MEDIA ALERT - LiveRoof representative Ben Lucas and Middlebury College project manager Mark Gleason invite the press to meet them at the Squash Center at 291 S. Main Street on Wednesday, August 20, from 2PM to 3PM.

Directions: Heading south on Rt. 7, turn right at the white Congregational Church onto Main Street. At the roundabout, turn onto South Main Street/Rt. 30. After passing the Mahaney Center for the Arts, you will reach the athletic complex. Turn left at the entrance to the Ralph Myhre Golf Course and then take an immediate left onto the road that runs along the side of the construction. At the end of the road, turn left into the parking lot for the Squash Center.
