Creating a Sustainable Urban Oasis: The Meadow at the Old Chicago Post Office
54m
Hoerr Schaudt’s design, horticulture, and construction administration team share the process of transforming the rooftop of a desolate, unused industrial building into the nation’s largest private rooftop garden atop a modern workplace. Designed with sustainability in mind, The Meadow sets the standard for how rooftops can restore and protect ecosystems, retain and treat stormwater, reduce local micro-climate temperatures, improve tenant health and well-being, and so much more. Overcoming historic preservation and structural constraints, the success story of The Meadow will continue to inspire for years to come as it redefines how to reposition historic buildings for the future.
