Relocation of the Botany Research Greenhouse

From Plant Press, Vol. 26, No. 2, April 2023.

In December 2022, the Department of Botany moved its living collections at the Museum Support Center (MSC) in Suitland, Maryland, to a temporary greenhouse. In February 2023 the 28-year-old Botany Research Greenhouse was razed for the construction of Pod 6. The new replacement greenhouse is under construction at MSC with occupancy scheduled for September 2023.
