Audio Tour: Experience the Living Green Wall

At this living green wall, take a moment to pause, breathe, and rest your eyes on the verdant hues. Known as a living wall or vertical garden, it represents the elements of life needed to survive and thrive: earth, water, fire, and air. This lush living green wall nurtures plants with high levels of oxygen to create a sense of calm. And yes – they’re all real.

An evolving, three-dimensional work of art, this 30 foot long living green wall features blooming plants that provide "pops" of color, such as red flamingo flowers, orange lipstick plants, evergreens, and chocolate columnea. According to NASA research, several of the species – including pothos and spider plants – are believed to purify the air by filtering out volatile compounds.

A hybrid irrigation system behind the living green wall circulates and reclaims water, and remote monitoring provides real-time data to ensure proper levels of nutrients.

Research suggests that living green walls improve air quality and attenuate noise, while promoting health and well-being. Our living green wall invites you to reconnect with nature, relax, and refresh, if just for a moment. We hope that every time you pass it, you will study better, work better and feel better throughout the rest of your day.
