Wooster Campus Greenhouse Operations

Inside a greenhouse

 

The ATI campus boasts a state-of-the-art greenhouse that provides hands-on experience to prepare students for the workplace. The greenhouse unit is made up of three chambers, along with a controls corridor. The three connected greenhouses have distinctive uses—one is a light exclusion or blackout house with unique shading mechanisms, the second is a propagation house and the third focuses on hydroponics.

The greenhouse even has an environmental control system that can make adjustments automatically and runs off of solar radiation as opposed to being solely time-based. Students learn to set up, adjust, correct and make changes to the high-tech environmental system.
