The Meadow Terrace and Sedum green roof areas are designed as elegant water quality stormwater management practices, treating the first one inch of runoff from the areas they occupy, and from upper tributary non-greened roof areas. A hydrologically independent bioretention system is disguised within the Meadow Terrace and treats runoff from upper non-green roofs. The fifty-inch deep bioretention rain gardens are artfully integrated into the Meadow Terrace to sustain the six trees that shade the nearby seating area and special event space. A specialized manifold system controls the flow of roof runoff into the bioretention cells. Framed on three sides by an etched glass curtain wall, the Meadow Terrace provides a soothing viewshed to those within the interior common areas and conference room. This linked indoor/outdoor experience shadows the design intent to foster cross disciplinary collaboration.

The Sedum green roof area softens the utilitarian portion of the roof. The maintenance plan for this green roof area includes coordinated overseeding and enhanced stewardship to promote biodiversity and encourage the maturation of a native low meadow plant community. Overseeding with native perennials and annuals connects the Sedum Roof to the regional landscape. On both the Meadow Terrance and the Sedum Roof, ornamental grasses and flowering perennials offer a constantly changing display of texture and color that reflect the changes in the seasons providing a visible link to natural world within a dense urban environment.
