MERCY HEALTH - WEST HOSPITAL
- GREEN ROOF

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

 

Client: Mercy Health Partners

Location: Monfort Heights, Ohio

Size: 2.5 acres

​

A Landscape Master Plan was created for this new Mercy Hospital located in Green Township on the west side of Cincinnati.

 

In addition to a sustainable site landscape plan, this assignment includes the design of a 107,000 square foot (2.5 acre) green roof which will be viewed from two patient towers that rise four stories above the roof. This vast expanse of green- space provides “healing” views for patients rather than looking down over a typical commercial roof.

 

This green roof is primarily an extensive green roof with a sedum mix.  Swirling across the green roof are intensive berms that mound to 18” on which larger prairie grasses and perennials will grow reflecting the rolling hills of Ohio’s prairie.

 

This is currently Ohio’s largest green roof. This is in collaboration with AECOM and Champlin Architects. Two other intensive green roofs were created in the complex at the Linear Acceleration and Hospital Chapel.
