An extensive bio-retention planting system and native plant materials allow stormwater from the roof, parking lot, and other hardscape surfaces to be kept, cleansed, and utilized on site. Non-hybridized native plantings provide wildlife such as bees and butterflies with an ecosystem that off-balances the human footprint. The site also boasts solar panels, low efficiency vehicle (LEV) parking, and hardscape surfaces with a high solar reflective index to help reduce the heat island effect.
