Providence St. Mary Medical Center Installs its First Green Roof
Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance and Xero Flor America LLC (XFA) announced the completion of a green roof at Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Walla Walla, Wash. The Tremco Roofing Sedum Mat System, with components supplied by XFA, was installed on a 10,000-square-foot section over the Operating Suites on the Medical Center’s new 16,000-square-foot structural roof.
“Providence St. Mary Medical Center needed to replace this roof and researched the benefits of adding a vegetated roof. This roof replacement approach doubled the life of the new roof membrane and provided other benefits as well,” St. Mary Director of Facilities Larry Baer said. “Air temperature reduction in the summer months, sustainable management of stormwater and an enhanced patient experience all contributed to our decision to install a green roof.”
