Campus greenhouse goes unused due to construction

On the west side of campus there is an area where members of the horticulture club and natural science division used to be educated on sustainable horticulture practices.

The greenhouse used to flourish with the greenery, but for the past two semesters the greenhouse has gone unused by students, staff and maintenance workers alike.

“(Because) it’s in a construction zone and because it is not a safe area where students and faculty can be in,” Amy Grant, dean of natural sciences, said.

Tom Brown, director of facilities, said that from a division stand point the greenhouse isn’t being used because the facility location is inconvenient for those involved

“As far as I know the greenhouse can be used, its not closed down it’s just that the natural science division has decided not to use it right now,” Brown said.
