Partner Sempergreen USA - Green Roofs, Purple Roofs, Living Walls and trellis systems

Breaking News! Princeton University is going 'Purple' on its new home for Environmental Studies and the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Adding the Purple-Roof Concept to the building design will eliminate the need for on-site stormwater tanks. This innovative approach saves valuable real estate, reduces project costs, and enhances sustainability through nature-based solutions. Upgrading to a detention-based green roof system (vs. a retention-only green roof) is a cost-effective move compared to traditional stormwater tanks. Are you not sure how or why, or are you concerned about the added weight on the roof? Let the Sempergreen Group help optimize your stormwater management strategy and explain the Purple Roof system. Huge credits go out to the design team, including Nicole Holmes with Nitsch Engineering, Ennead Architects, and Field Operations, for letting us be part of this project.
