In urban environments, the problems associated with the current production and consumption model are increasing exponentially and promoting their care is the greatest challenge of the present century. In this context, environmental education plays a leading role in meeting this challenge, due to the need of promoting learning systems to breaks traditional schemes, allowing to understand and involve in comprehensive projects. The present article makes known the development of the 2nd stage of a green roof construction at the Polytechnic Institute Gral. San Martin -UNR. This interdisciplinary project highlighted by being unique, so far built by students at a public school in Rosario. Without neglecting the initial stage of the refunctionalization of a disused space, we intend to show the results in spatial, environmental and educational terms, such as those achieved by the students, being an experimental group, indicators of apprentice learning, attitudinal changes and behaviors. We make available to other educational communities the possibility of replicating with similar projects that may impact other schools, helping to raise awareness among students, teachers, authorities and the community in general, by transferring specific knowledge to other areas, with professional advice as a priority, as in our case, provided by teachers and experts.
