A new greenhouse for the department of science is now under construction on the campus and the project is expected to be completed during the present school year.
The Greenhouse is the first to be built at East Carolina and is considered by faculty members of the department of science a valuable asset to work in laboratories and classes in biology and botany.
When construction is completed, work wil be begun on a permanent exhibit of plants and shrubs peculiar to eastern North Carolina, including both rare and common varieties. These will be arranged for display both in the greenhouse and in the area surrounding it. Plans are now being made by members of the department of science to collect and plant such specimens.
It is hoped also that community organizations such as garden clubs in and near Greenville will receive assistance through work and experiments carried on in the greenhouse
