Niagara College has officially opened its $12M Horticultural and Environmental Sciences Innovation Centre Greenhouse. The greenhouse is equipped for research, with advanced hydroponic setups, a growth chamber for tissue culture work, and five bays with individualized temperature and lighting controls. The greenhouse will also provide a space for work-integrated learning opportunities for students. “[A]cross all our Innovation Centres, our students are leading projects, managing real-world budgets, and interacting directly with our industry partners to drive innovation forward,” said Niagara VP of Research, Innovation and Strategic Enterprises Dr Marc Nantel. The construction of the facility was supported by the federal, provincial, and municipal governments.
