In an effort to become a better neighbor to the Prospect Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y., The Barclays Center, home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, is about to get greener — literally.

Part of the original concept for the design of the Barclays Center before the facility opened in 2012, a “green” roof will soon cover the existing roof’s 130,000-square-foot dome.

It will be constructed by Forest City Ratner Companies — the same developer responsible for the original arena construction.
