Greenhouses

An entomology greenhouse (Greenhouse H) is located behind Headhouse 3. (For more information on Greenhouse H, contact the greenhouse manager, Scott DiLoreto, at 814-867-2965)

There is also a greenhouse located near the Chemical Ecology Lab. This greenhouse does not have a potting area, so please remove all potting/soil material from the floor of each cubicle. (For more information contact the Greenhouse Coordinator, Ryan Golas)

• Cubicles are assigned to faculty on an individual basis for use in their respective research programs; requests are made through the Greenhouse coordinator.
• A large work area with potting benches is located in the south Headhouse area. All persons using the greenhouse are required to clean it after use, and trash receptacles are to be emptied in the dumpster outside the west entrance.
• Keep potting/plant material away from floor drains. There is also a root washer located in the back area of Headhouse 3.
• Waste soil is to be disposed of in the blue soil bins outside the west entrance to the Headhouse.
• Information for Greenhouse Users

All problems should be directed to the Greenhouse Coordinator.
