Rooftop Garden at O'Leary Library

The Office of Sustainability maintains a rooftop garden featuring about 500 growing containers for herbs, vegetables and flowers covering the 2,300-square-foot mezzanine roof at O’Leary Library. The Rist Institute for Sustainability and Energy also supports research projects in the O’Leary Library Rooftop Garden, like the student and faculty-led fertilizer project, which uses solar power to produce fertilizer on-demand and onsite, while also being a modular mode of production that does not emit greenhouse gases.
