Greening the Amenity Deck

Over time urban parks and other open landscaped areas are being lost to development. One solution to mitigate this issue is to reconsider undeveloped areas such as building roofs to create green amenity spaces. Amenity decks can provide some alleviation of lost green space, while affording developers the potential to monetize unutilized spaces in their buildings and provide an advantage over older buildings to attract tenants.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Review the preliminary structural, weatherproofing, and functional considerations when designing an amenity deck.
• Compare the function and construction of green roofs, green walls, and blue roofs.
• Describe the experiential, environmental, financial and spatial reasons behind the popularity of amenity decks.
• List amenity deck landscaping options and their design considerations.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
