City Hall roof goes green

June 24, 2008
by Todd Melby, June 2008 • The interior courtyard of Minneapolis City Hall and the Hennepin County Courthouse is going green. Scott Helmes of RSP Architects in Minneapolis conceived the project in 2005. When completed in July, the 5,000 square feet of newly inserted plants promise to capture storm water, mitigate the "urban heat island" effect" and other benefits.
Building Minnesota is a radio series, podcast and blog focusing on architecture and design. And since we live in an increasingly global world, we also keeps an eye on architecture and design news elsewhere.
