Green Roofs on Campus: Living Infrastructure for Climate Action, Learning, and Legacy
As institutions of higher education accelerate climate commitments, campus landscapes are increasingly called upon to perform as living infrastructure. This Climate Week–themed webinar explores how green roofs can advance sustainability goals while enriching campus life, operations, and learning through three university case studies: Harvard Business School, Northeastern University, and North Shore Community College. Designed for campus sustainability directors and facilities managers, the session examines how green roofs deliver measurable benefits—from stormwater management and urban heat reduction to biodiversity, wellness, and experiential learning. Speakers will share design strategies, maintenance realities, and performance outcomes across diverse campus contexts, including how these projects support institutional reporting and benchmarking frameworks such as AASHE STARS.
Presented by Recover Green Roofs during Boston Climate Week, this webinar recognizes the unique role higher education leaders play in shaping not only resilient campuses, but also the next generation of environmental stewards—demonstrating how today’s infrastructure decisions can become tomorrow’s teaching tools.
