 Moshulu Golf Course Houses Filtration Plant Beneath Driving Range Published: Feb 28, 09 Comments: 1 Views: 1,849 This might just be the Holy Grail of ‘green’ multipurposing. They needed a water-filtration plant in the Bronx and, unfortunately, the most viable site was considered to be the Mosholu Golf Course, one of the last large-enough open spaces in the area. Of course, Bronx golfers were instantly up in arms—which is one thing you really don’t want to deal with, especially since the facility also served a lot of underprivileged kids. The solution? Make the driving range the green roof of the new plant. Result: Everybody’s happy. I think we’ve hit upon a great new twist in sustainable architecture and sports here.  In case you were wondering, this will be the "largest contiguous green roof in the country.
