Attention All Growth Room space users: For the Month of March 2024, only three of the 6 Walk-in Growth Rooms in the Agriculture Bldg. will be operational. The Point growth rooms will not be affected and will be available during this time. The Plant Science's 6 walk-in growth rooms are being renovated in 2 phases. The first phase involves upgrading the 6 cooling condensers on the roof, a vital component of the room's cooling system. An outside contractor has been awarded the tender and the new condensers are on order and are expected to arrive in mid-February. Three growth rooms at a time will be shut down for about 2 weeks, as 3 old condensers are removed and replaced with one large condenser unit. Work needs to be completed by March 31, 2024. This will be a difficult time for those users affected but hopefully we can share space and make use of available Point growth room space. I will keep you posted with all updates Cathy
