Parking Facility Sports New Rooftop Athletic Field

F.J.A. Christiansen Roofing Co. Inc., a founding branch of Tecta America Corp., completed the installation of a rooftop athletic field installed on top of a 780-car parking facility on the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) campus. Located at the northwest corner of Broadway and Knapp St. in Milwaukee, the field will be used for collegiate soccer and lacrosse and other youth sports. The roof structure will also slow the rate of stormwater runoff and limit the pollutants typically collected on a paved roofing surface.

“This is a very exciting project to be a part of, and one that benefited from Tecta’s experience and expertise with green roofs,” said Doug Biggar, sales manager for Tecta’s F.J.A. Christiansen Roofing Co. “This was a new challenge for us, but after months of research and consulting with Tecta experts from around the country, we engineered the ideal solution for this rooftop playing surface.”
