    Along with security for the expensive equipment, the greenhouse has an alarm system that monitors extreme climate shifts. If the temperature or humidity fluctuates too far beyond the designated parameters, an alarm is triggered. An alert is sent to the Physical Plant Department, which then notifies Trost.

    These dividers are more dynamic than a typical cubicle wall. The structures function both to manage different climate conditions for each room and to cycle fresh air. The central room works as a flume to suck in fresh air from outside.

    The ceiling of the greenhouse is coated each spring with a special white paint, “to act like sunscreen in the summertime,” Trost said. The substance washes off during the winter from the cold and snow.
