Auckland Library's green roof - 18 months on

Allco is proud to have contributed to the success of the Auckland Central Library’s living roof—an ambitious project now delivering tangible environmental benefits after 18 months of in-depth monitoring by Auckland Council and Living Roofs Aotearoa. 

Auckland Library and the Growth of Green Roofs

What started as a standard refurbishment and repair, evolved into a unique opportunity to create a living green roof with over two thousand low maintenance native New Zealand plants installed so far and with a further 300 to 400 plants being planted over the coming months to improve the overall coverage.

Green Roof Benefits Far Exceed Sustainability

Green roof installations have shown a proven return on investment beyond the environmental benefits. Building owners, architects and city planners are turning to sustainable construction for more than just a carbon footprint reduction.
