Brown University debuts new greenhouse

Brown University's recently renovated Building for Environmental Research and Teaching will soon be crowned by a state-of-the-art greenhouse research facility.

The greenhouse, which is on the building's roof,  is composed of six rooms that are individually equipped with temperature controls, light and shade controls, and vents, allowing researchers to experiment with different plants and their reactions to climate changes.

The facility will also have an immense database chronicling the plants and their responses.
