Philadelphia University Highlights 2012-2013

Terra-Grid Impresses Industry Sponsors Terra-Grid, created for an industry-sponsored project with Construction Specialties, Inc., is a first-of-its kind, customizable, retrofitted green roof, developed collaboratively by MBA, architecture and industrial design students. The organic design guarantees a beautiful alternative to traditional green roofs. Easy to install, cost-effective and containing a low-maintenance modular plant system, the Terra-Grid brings green roof technology to office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing plants, apartment complexes, hospitals and other structures that would not otherwise be able to easily sustain a green roof system. The team that created the project includes MBA student Brittany Ristila ’13, architecture students Tyler Dye ’13 and Rebecca Della Peruta ’13 and industrial design students Jared Lowman ’13 and Aakriti Chandra ’14.
