UO Research Greenhouses
Where Research and Education Grow
Welcome to the University of Oregon Research Greenhouses
The University of Oregon Research Greenhouses are comprised of more than 6,000 square feet of greenhouse space and a one-acre outdoor field to support research and teaching activities. The facility consists of a small greenhouse on the fourth floor of Onyx Bridge Hall and a central complex near the Millrace path, with two greenhouses and a Quonset-hut headhouse. The headhouse includes two growth chambers, drying ovens, shared potting resources and storage areas.
The Greenhouses serve as a core facility to support the research and teaching missions of faculty and students in multiple academic departments and institutes across the University of Oregon, as well as other universities and companies throughout the country. The facility is staffed by a part-time greenhouse manager and by student workers.
Inquiries regarding the research greenhouses, equipment, and growing grounds can be directed to Ruth Belcher, the interim greenhouse manager, via email at rbelcher@uoregon.edu, or 541-346-3920.
