Target Center Green Roof by KISSSusa on Flickr.
The green roof of the Target Center, installed in 2009, was the first on an arena in North America. Nearly 1 million gallons of storm water will be captured annually by the 2.5 acre green roof to prevent drainage into the Mississippi River. In addition to storm water drainage prevention, the roof can cut energy use in the summer by as much as 40 percent, as well as help in mitigating the heat island effect in downtown Minneapolis.
