Department of Biology Greenhouse, which houses specimen for classes and tours. The entire greenhouse
holds 45 families of plants with multiple specimen from those families represented. During the winter
months, temperatures in the greenhosue fluctuate between 65-85 degrees to produce suitable environments
for the plan specimen. The greenhouse has temperature alarms installed which alert personnel in the
event temperatures drop below 55-60 degrees. (Photos: Enoch Wu/Sentinel-Tribune) SEE MORE
