building that the green roof was being designed for was the Technology Center,more commonly called the Tech Center. It originally housed the Engineering Department, andwas one of the first buildings built for campus. When it was constructed, it was intended to havea second story put on top at a later date, so the roof was designed to be a floor to that secondstory, and there are two flights of stairs and even an elevator that connect to the roof. Thesecond story was never added, and the roof of the building therefore was expected to besufficient to support the green roof. This expectation was confirmed by the analysis done in thecivil electives. The roof of the Tech Center is clearly visible from several other campusbuildings, so a green roof
