The newly renovated John R. Roach Center greenhouse held an open house Friday, Sept. 10. The biology department will use the updated building, which had not been occupied since 1997. Along with new updates to the building, additional lab space has been added next door to JRC.

    That’s great news! It always seemed so depressing seeing it just sitting there without anything in it.

    Oh, this is good news.  I remember when the greenhouse was vacated.  It had always been a bright spot of color on the walk into north campus.  Hopefully it shall be again.
