“Since its early days, Middletown has grown into a small city and become a hip university town with a flourishing arts scene, all while maintaining its New England roots and charm. Wesleyan University was founded in 1831 and quickly became a hub for arts, academics, and athletics. The university’s influence, combined with the scenic waterfront location and commercial Main Street, have created a place where indie artisan culture thrives in a quintessential New England environment.”
Anyone who finds themselves on Main Street in Middletown, perhaps while visiting Wesleyan, can treat themselves to a unique experience. Not visible from Main Street, but high up on the roof of the Community Health Center at the North End of Main Street is a roof top garden. With permission, you can visit the roof and have great views of the winding Connecticut River below as well.
Wesleyan has several buildings of its own with green roofs:

They sound like a great way to compensate for the lack of rain gutters on any of the CFA roofs.
