Plant Growth Research Facility

Twin Cities Campus | St. Paul

The project constructs a new greenhouse addition to the Plant Growth Facilities West Greenhouse District of the St Paul Campus for the College of Biological Sciences Conservatory. The new greenhouse is furnished with modern temperature, humidity, and lighting controls. Four separate biome environments were created to include conservatory space for student, research, and public access; each monitored via the master greenhouse campus control system. Once complete, plant specimens and program activities currently housed in the existing Biological Sciences Greenhouse moved to the new greenhouse, and the old facility demolished.
