Checking in on our Green Partners | Alive Structures

Marni Majorelle hard at work on broadway Stages green corridor.

When we last talked about the progress being made on the Broadway Stages rooftop expansion project, things were humming along. That was in January of 2020 and, as we all know a lot has changed since. Today we bring you the fourth and final part of our series – checking in on our green partners during the pandemic. There is a common theme among our green partners. They have demonstrated resilience, resolve, creativity and hope as they face the uncertainty of the pandemic.  And we see the same with our friends at Alive Structures. Due to the nature of the work done by Marni Majorelle, Founder of Alive Structures, she is used to challenges and is accustomed to being flexible.  Not every project goes exactly the way one plans and there are changes to schedules due to weather or other circumstances.  But one thing is for sure, planted with 48,000 plants and sown with millions of wildflower seeds, this coming summer the roofs will be an amazing sight that the community can be proud of.

In January of 2020 we reported that the green rooftop expansion project was beginning. The crew, led by Project Manager Eric Majorelle, was able to install approximately 30,000 square feet of green roof layers including drainage and soil on three of the six soundstage roofs that make up Broadway Stages Green Corridor. Things came to a temporary halt when the City shut down in March of 2020 due to the pandemic. With some creativity and strict safety protocols in place, Alive Structures was able to safely cover the soil with wildflower seeds which later bloomed magnificently in June. We are now focusing on the second 30,000+ sq. ft. of rooftop gardens and remain committed to complete the 1.4 acre green rooftop expansion.

Broadway Stages is sincerely thankful  for the continued focus and dedication of Alive Structures and their commitment to complete this project. While it may take a little longer than anticipated, we know that the hard work Alive Structures puts in will bring Broadway Stages Green Corridor to life.  Stay tuned for progress updates.
