Institutional Greenhouses | Prospiant

Institutional greenhouses can provide many benefits to a wide variety of organizations. Typically, the primary function of a greenhouse is growing plants, but institutional greenhouses can also serve other purposes. Institutional greenhouses can promote scientific research, educational experiences, and stress relief.

Institutional Greenhouses For Schools

Students can utilize institutional greenhouses at all levels of education. From pre-school to high school, centers for learning can design greenhouses to meet the specific needs of their students. We can lower greenhouse bench heights for younger students to suit their needs better. Institutional greenhouses for younger children can also be designed with access to ground soil so that students can grow plants directly from the ground.

As expected with high school greenhouses, the greenhouse systems devoted to research and education often become more advanced. Also, greenhouses that are used by high school students can be constructed to be larger to accommodate more extensive cultivation operations and bigger class sizes.

Institutional Greenhouses For Research Purposes/Colleges And Universities

Greenhouse facilities at the college level are typically used for staff research purposes and student research projects. In some cases, greenhouses can benefit architecture students as they learn about aluminum frames and majority-glass structures. Another benefit of a greenhouse in a college setting is that if open to the public, the space can provide a stress-reducing environment for students and staff.

Institutional Greenhouses For Penitentiaries And Rehabilitation Centers

Penitentiaries and rehabilitation facilities utilize greenhouses for a variety of reasons. Gardening and growing plants can increase self-sufficiency in people serving time and can also decrease feelings of stress and sadness. While greenhouses are not always a staple of these facilities, they are only continuing to increase in popularity due to their benefits. Another reason greenhouses are sometimes found in penitentiaries and rehabilitation facilities is that they support freshly grown produce, which they can then use for resident meals.
