Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Builds LEED Campus
everGREEN landscape architects (Santa Barbara, California) is glad to see the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation move forward with one of the greenest building projects in the northwest.
The greenest elements for the new Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation headquarters in Seattle is a 1.5 acre green roof for the parking garage (owned and operated by Seattle Center), which is already complete. The foundation says the “living” roof is the largest of its kind in Seattle and will eventually be sustained by Seattle’s wet climate. The campus will also have extensive green, sustainable landscaping to knit the campus with the neighborhood.
