Seattle Children’s Hospital opts for DIADEM^®

The project has three different roofs from the garage level to the eighth floor, which now have been covered by a Diadem^®-150 extensive green roof system for a total of 20,000 sqf.

When it came time to expand Seattle Children’s Hospital, leadership selected ZGF Architects of Seattle to design the LEED Gold registered “Building Hope” addition to the hospital’s Seattle campus. ZGF turned to DIADEM^® USA to engineer a roof that would not only provide an esthetically pleasing retreat, but also complement the overall sustainability goals of the expansion.

"DIADEM^® provides a unique array of specialized solutions for the problems that are often encountered when designing a green roof, including: edge restraint, drainage, fall protection, and tree guying" said David Grant, Associate Partner at ZGF Architects, LLP
