Plant Growth Facilities<\/h1>\n

The Plant Growth Facilities are always blooming with new research and ideas. We are an Institutional Core Research Facility<\/a>, managed by the Agriculture Experiment Station. Our facility houses over 60,000 square feet of research space including greenhouses, growth and biocontainment chambers, teaching greenhouses, classrooms, and of course, a conservatory.<\/p>\n

Watch CSU\u2019s Rare Corpse Flower Bloom for the First Time<\/h2>\n

The Corpse Flower bloomed at the CSU Plant Growth Facilities over the Memorial Day weekend. This rare phenomenon occurred after the plant sat dormant for 8 years.<\/p>\n

More than 8,600 visitors came to see the bloom and numerous research staff and faculty used the occasion to advance their studies and work.<\/p>\n
