Assiniboine College has received a $700K donation from the RBC Foundation to support the college’s Greenhouse in a Box research project expansion. The Russ Edwards School of Agriculture & Environment’s Greenhouse in a Box prototype is a free-standing, transportable greenhouse structure that can be adapted to almost any location or climate to extend the length of the growing season. It includes irrigation, water reservoirs, lighting, and a solar energy system. The donation will be used to acquire equipment, build spaces for faculty and students to expand their work, and increase the number of training opportunities for horticultural students.
