NAU Research GreenHouse

The Northern Arizona University (NAU) Research Greenhouse Complex (RGC) was dedicated in 1988. Our facility includes eight 1,000 sq. ft. greenhouses along with laboratory, potting, lath, shade, and storage areas.

Our primary mission is the support of university-wide research. Over the past 20 years we have supported projects that have encompassed many disciplines and departments including: forestry, biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, engineering, Ecological Restoration Institute, Center for Sustainable Environments, and Ecological Monitoring and Assessment.

During the past six years our mission has expanded to include growing plants for habitat restoration, developing a campus arboretum, and developing partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies that are involved with plant production for restoration.
