The School of Plant Science Controlled Environment Facility consists of a range of glasshouses, growth cabinets and specialised environments. The recently upgraded $3 million facility offers a highly diverse range of environmental options with very accurate control over light, temperature, C0₂ and humidity.

The facility is used by active research groups in the areas of plant genetics, hormonal responses, photomorphogenesis and ecological studies. The close proximity of the School to a diverse range of plant communities enhances the facility as an ideal center for ecological studies. Continued development and implementation of state of the art technology is one of the reasons the School has been successful in attracting continuous Australian Research Council funding since 1963. The international nature of our staff, and the international employability of our graduates, is further testament to the quality of our facilities, research programmes and course structure.
