Subject: Disruption to Growth Room Space!

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
