Biological Sciences' Greenhouse

Located on the roof of Rieveschl Hall, the function of the Biology Department Greenhouse is three fold:

  • To house the department's collection of plants which are used as reference materials for various classes.
  • To serve as a space for undergraduate, graduate, and faculty research.
  • To provide the greater UC and local community with opportunities to learn about plants. 

Visit the Greenhouse

The greenhouse is open to all visitors Monday through Friday, from 9:30-3:30. It is on the 9th floor of Rieveschl Hall and can be accessed by the northeastern staircase. Click here for further details.
