Brooklyn Grange Installs Passive Green Roof & Solar Panel Array On Roosevelt Island Cornell Tech Campus Tata Innovation Center

Brooklyn Grange:

… farms rooftops, builds green spaces, and promotes sustainable living and local ecology through food, education, and events. We believe that social enterprise is a powerful driver of positive change, and that businesses should be a nourishing part of their community.

Last Tuesday, Brooklyn Grange installed a passive green roof on the Tata Innovation Center (formerly known as the Bridge at Cornell Tech ) on the Roosevelt Island Cornell Tech campus.
