Abstract

This paper presents an innovative design of a suite of low impact development (LID) facilities including eco-roofs, bio-retention cells, natural drainage system, rain gardens, porous pavement, cisterns and multi-functional detention pond in the complex of the Civil Structure Experimental Building at Shenzhen University. The LID facilities are designed for the multi-purposes usage including testing different growing media of the eco-roofs for nutrient removal, evaluating performances of eco-roofs, bio-retention cells, rain garden and porous pavement for stormwater attenuation and reduction, testing rain water harvest using cisterns and detention pond, and serving as sustainable educational and training facilities for engineering students and professionals. This state of the art design also includes water circulation system and preinstalled climate and hydrological data monitoring and collection systems. A beautiful landscape and tour path will be built for the visitors.
