My name is Steven Fasnacht. I am a senior at Allegheny College, from which I will graduate in May 2007 with a Bachelors degree in Environmental Studies. I have constructed this website and toured the greenroofs listed in the Key Findings section of the Greenroof Recommendations page in order to fulfill the senior thesis project requirements of the Allegheny College Environmental Science Department. In addition to fulfilling graduation requirements, this site is intended to serve as an informative tool in order to better disseminate information about the greenroof to be constructed on the Allegheny College campus. My hope is that this website will expand the understanding of current/perspective Allegheny College students regarding the greenroof on campus, as well as greenroofs in general.
Acknowledgments
Andrea Ryding - My fiancé, my anchor, my beacon. Thank you so much for being there and helping me get through all the troubled times in a relatively painless way. Thank you for helping me keep my head on straight. I love you.
Dr. Eric Pallant of the Environmental Science Department, Allegheny College - Thank you for being patient with me when my progress was less than motivating. My objective changed around a lot, but you continued to provide helpful advice and present me with your honest opinion.
Brian Gillette, Clerk of the Works for the Allegheny College Physical Plant Department - Thank you for taking the time to help me locate pertinent information for my comp even though there was quite a bit to go through. Also, the pictures of the future Vukovich Center is exceedingly helpful as well.
Bob Bingham, Jane Werner, and Brian Winslow - Thank you all very much for taking the time out of your schedules to talk to me about your greenroofs. Bob, I would like to thank you especially for taking the time to give me a personal tour of the CMU greenroof.
