Colorado State University Weed Research Building Addition

Supporting hands-on research and discovery through a purpose-built greenhouse and laboratory environment.

Designed to support academic research and experiential learning, this laboratory and greenhouse facility provides students and faculty with a dedicated environment for plant cultivation, experimentation, and scientific study. The facility serves undergraduate and graduate programs across multiple disciplines, creating opportunities for hands-on learning and applied research.

Constructed with a load-bearing steel frame and steel roof structure, the building was designed to provide the durability, flexibility, and environmental control required for greenhouse operations and laboratory activities. The greenhouse supports the cultivation of a wide variety of plant samples used in ongoing research, classroom instruction, and academic projects.

By providing controlled growing conditions and dedicated research space, the facility enables students and faculty to conduct studies related to agriculture, biology, environmental science, and other plant-based disciplines. The integration of laboratory and greenhouse functions creates an efficient environment where research, observation, and analysis can occur within a single facility.

The result is a specialized academic resource that enhances research capabilities, supports experiential education, and provides students with valuable opportunities to engage in scientific inquiry and real-world application of their studies.
