The tropical greenhouse in a new look!
The tropical greenhouse has a new roof and new walls made of twin-wall sheets! From 14.4.2014 - 23.6.2014, a specialist company from Emsdetten was busy with renovation work on the tropical greenhouse. The building was given a new roof and new walls made of double-skin sheets that are more heat-efficient and light-permeable. With these maintenance measures, the university is strengthening the Witzenhausen site, saving energy and also improving the appearance of the facility. In addition, the heating pipes were given a new coat of paint.
We are delighted about the improved conditions for the crop collection!
