Greensboro, NC A&T - High-Tech Greenhouse

This project includes an approximate 1,323 gross square feet greenhouse with an integrated headhouse at the north end. The headhouse portion is included in this narrative as it is envisioned to be greenhouse construction with solid, insulated metal panels in lieu of glazing material. The greenhouse is based on a European Venlo roof design. The greenhouse will include a 3-foot-high concrete/masonry knee-wall around its perimeter. The greenhouse is subdivided into separate interior compartments to accommodate researcher and department needs. The compartments include the following sizes and quantities: 1. 156 square feet (14.5 square meters), "Innovation” “Engineering” (200 sf nominal) compartment (qty 2) 2. 159 square feet (14.8 square meters), "SFLS” “Environmental Studies” (200 sf nominal) compartment (qty 2) Compartments are located on a common access corridor along the broad length of the greenhouse, connecting to the headhouse at the north. The greenhouse compartments will be evaporative cooled and fin tube heated with a hot water boiler located in the Headhouse area.
