Harvard Business School - McArthur / McCollum Hall
The 8,300-square-foot Omni Meadow on Harvard Business School’s McArthur/McCullom Hall marked the New England debut of Omni Infinity Media. Recover Green Roofs installed the weight-limited, multi-tier green roofs in summer 2016. In its first season, the establishing meadow yielded a bountiful harvest of more than 400 pounds of daikon radishes, which were served in the HBS cafeteria. The native meadow, including milkweed, aster, rudbeckia, and other herbaceous and woody perennials, is now a long-, well-established pollinator habitat and hosts bee hives.
