The fifth-largest green roof in the nation—and the largest in Minnesota—was installed atop the Target Center in Minneapolis. Spanning 115,000 sf, the entertainment center’s roof features Georgia-Pacific’s DensDeck Prime roof boards, chosen for moisture and fire resistance, durability, ease of installation, and high-wind uplift values. City officials collaborated with Leo A Daly (architect), Stock Roofing (roofing contractor), Inspec Inc. (roofing consultant), and The Kestrel Design Group (landscape architect) on the project. The green roof is expected to capture nearly one million gallons of stormwater annually.
