Plant Growth Environments Facility

Document Description: The University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) proposes to provide contemporary plant growth facilities that meet the requirements of a university research program within the East Campus Plant Growth Complex (East Complex) area. The proposed Plant Growth Environments Facility ("project") is the first facility to move forward into the planning, design, and construction stages as defined in the Plant Growth Environments & Support Facilities Relocation Study. The proposed project would involve the demolition of the existing Latthouse B, four plant growth glass houses, one Arabidopsis plant growth house, a temporary compost toilet, and a metal shed totaling approximately 13, 106 square feet. Subsequent to demolition activities, the proposed project would include construction of a 2-story, approximately 38,000 gross square feet, approximately 33-foot high, cast-in-place concrete PGEF structure. See NOD for full details.
