New projects unfolding on the Elevated Lab

In spring 2018, the Centre launched two major projects on the Elevated Lab. One is the ‘learning classroom’ that features decking, railings and irrigation supplied by collaborations with our colleagues and students from the trades. The other, titled ‘Technologies and Ecologies’, marks a new chapter for green roof research in BC.

Green Roof and Green Wall courses

The next round of GROW courses will begin in Jan 2019. GROW 1000 is perfect for students of all sorts. With City of Vancouver developing a greenroof policy, now's a perfect time to refresh your understanding about this multi-functional technology. As well, our Green Wall course GROW 1500 will be offered over two Saturdays in January.
