Ohio State University shot on an iPhone 13 Pro

Controlled Environment Agriculture Research Complex

In the fall of 2022, (the) Ohio State University opened the doors to a new research facility. A few years ago I had the privilege of taking a tour and it did not disappoint. This greenhouse is one of the largest and most high-tech spaces of its kind in the United States, built to push the boundaries of controlled environment agriculture. With gutters standing 7.5 meters high (that’s over 24 feet for our American readers) there is amble space for vine crops, strawberries, and hydroponic greens to stretch out and thrive — far beyond what a standard greenhouse could ever accommodate.

Projects like this don’t come together alone, and we’re proud to have partnered with so many talented organizations across the industry to help bring this facility to life.

I snapped a few photos on my iPhone while I was there — take a look below.
