Ohio University's Schoonover Center to don new educational green roof


Students may soon have the opportunity to grow plants on top of Schoonover Center, once construction of the green roof is completed...The green roof, which furthers Ohio University’s commitment to sustainability, will serve three purposes: research, education and outreach, all through a cross-disciplinary lens.



The idea for the project began with Kim Thompson, an assistant professor of instruction in the department of environmental and plant biology, reports The Post. Currently, more than 50 students, faculty members, and other individuals are involved in the project.

Natalie Kruse Daniels, associate professor of environmental studies and director of Ohio University's environmental studies program, told The Post, “We’re looking at large scale development of green infrastructure that’s going to be accessible to classes and incorporate that data into lesson plans. And students will gain experience that will help them become professionals.”
