Historical Information

The Horticultural Greenhouse, originally called the horticulture greenhouse, was built in 1915 and was originally used for instruction in vegetable gardening, floriculture and horticultural courses. Greenhouses were added in 1924, 1928, 1941, 1968, and 1978. In 1998 all of the greenhouses were removed except for the head house. The remaining structure was expanded in 2002 to create a new state of the art facility.
