The North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station Research Greenhouse Complex at North Dakota State University (NDSU) has a new name. The greenhouse, which is on the west side of the NDSU campus, now is the Jack Dalrymple Agricultural Research Complex.
The complex was constructed using a combination of state dollars and private donations totaling $33.5 million – $28.5 million in appropriated funds and $5 million in donations.
This complex, which was dedicated in 2015, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the needs of plant research at NDSU. The building provides facilities for advanced research in plant breeding, genetics, horticulture, entomology, plant pathology, plant nutrition, food safety, food science, soil science and weed science.
NDSU is the only university in North Dakota with a greenhouse that houses a research lab, which allows researchers to proactively examine diseases that won’t be here for 20 to 30 years.
