A new five-story building with a 30,000 ft2 (2 800 m2) footprint is being designed on a previously disturbed100,000 ft2 (9 290 m2) site. The remaining on-grade surface will be 35,000 ft2 (3 250 m2) of asphalt parking, and 35,000 ft2 (3 250 m2) of native vegetated open space. To achieve a point for exemplary performance under Option 1 of Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development – Protect or Restore Habitat, the design team will have to incorporate a native and/or adapted vegetated roof with a minimum area of
- A . 12,500 ft2 (1 160 m2)
