UCI x UCLA

Anteaters, I'm sure you are all familiar with the dining area called "BC Cavern" (across from the Science Library). Some people know it as "On The Green". Did you know there is accessible roof space on top of the building? 

My friend from UCLA informed me that his university implemented a green roof on one of their new dining spaces this year. Awesome news for the sustainable community. I went to go check it out today and let me tell you, the resemblance to the BC Cavern area is uncanny. Have a look:




Welcome to UCLA's Green Roof

Poor alignment but this is the space above BC Cavern that could potentially be made into a green roof 


 At UCLA, students eat their lunch and study on the green roof. 
The people in the building across the green roof have a great view!
Your thoughts? Do you think you'd hang out on top of BC Cavern if it had a cool green roof? Please send me your feedback via facebook or my email: youCgreen@gmail.com.

More updates to come this further on in the week :) For now, have a splendid rest of the weekend, everyone!
