The College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences is getting a new Plant Sciences Complex that will feature a new teaching and laboratory building, state-of-the-art research and production greenhouses, an ancillary produce packing and cooling facility, and a farm store for food retail operations. The complex will bring together multiple complementary disciplines in one hub to tackle California’s most pressing food and agricultural challenges, including soil health, water and air quality, CEA plant production, harvesting, cooling and packing, food safety, and automation to train the next generation. The project is currently in the pre-construction phase, but as construction-ready work begins, the community will see work being done on the corner of Highland Avenue and Mt. Bishop Road. Other than the closure of parking lot C-S outside of Crop Science (Bldg. 17) during construction, significant impacts on university operations are not anticipated.
