Green Roofs - Living Architecture Monitor Fall 2020 - 14
CIVIC AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
CONGRESSWOMAN NYDIA VELAZQUEZ
Green Roofs for Healthy Cities is excited to award Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez for her outstanding contribution to developing green infrastructure policy through the proposed Green School
Rooftop Program. If passed, the bill would provide provide half a billion dollars in funding for
design, installation and maintenance of green roofs on schools across the United States with a focus
on schools in communities with limited green space.
This bill will help with the safe return of students during COVID and contribute to addressing
environmental injustices. Low-income communities predominantly have fewer green spaces for
children to access and studies have shown nature has a positive impact on a child's development.
The Green School Rooftop Program is a demonstration of what post-pandemic policy should be.
Addressing social inequity while creating green jobs and bolstering community resilience.
RESEARCH AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
DR. REID COFFMAN
Reid Coffman is an Associate Professor and Director of the Novel Ecology Design Lab NEDlab
at Kent State University College of Architecture and Environmental Design. Reid has demonstrated incredible leadership and scholarship in green roof research in North America. Reid has
been the Research Chair on the Board of Directors and led the Research Committee for Green
Roofs for Healthy Cities since 2017. He is the Editor of the Journal of Living Architecture, a
founding member of the Research Committee for Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, and a past
fellow with National Wildlife Federation. He was one of the founding members of the prestigious
Regional Centers of Excellence in Living Architecture designated by GHRC and GIF. Reid
provides leadership at the regional level as the executive director of the Greater Ohio Living
Architecture center, a RACE location.
Reid has published extensively in the green roof and green infrastructure research world, which is
evidenced by his long list of publications. Reid's biography speaks for itself and demonstrates his vast
accomplishments in the green roof research world. However, what isn't reflected in this biography
is his dedication to educating students. In all of the work that he does for GRHC, he always focuses
on what is best for incoming talent and graduate students in the green roof world. We academics
should aspire to emulate Reid in his 'students-first' attitude.
