Nestled in a mature forest of fir and Madrona trees along the shore of American Lake in NW Washington lies the very first green roof to be completed by the Veteran’s Administration in the entire USA. Designed with both the intent of integrating the VA’s new Nursing Home Care Unit into the surrounding natural setting and providing a sustainable stormwater approach for a multi-winged building, the new ecoroof successfully demonstrates a blending of form, function and aesthetics which will set the trend in sustainability for future VA developments.
