Quoting President Sean Kennedy from The Standard: “It is an exciting time for Niagara College as we break ground on a new, cutting-edge greenhouse that will support advancements in applied research and new, hands-on student learning opportunities.” This groundbreaking project showcases Niagara College’s commitment to fostering innovation and growth in the horticultural and environmental sciences.
The new greenhouse, strategically located behind the current teaching greenhouse at the Daniel J.
