Overview
The Greenhouse is a 2,500 square foot research greenhouse adjacent to the Lab 3A building. Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, It will be complete in Fall 2020 as part of the campus expansion. The building has been sited in a location well-suited for future expansion as funding becomes available.
Access to plant-growth facilities is essential for the controlled, hands-on research carried out by many UC Merced faculty members and students. The potential for research performed in this facility includes areas such as food and water security, biodiversity, climate change, renewable energy, and ecosystems.
