Research & Education: University and Teaching Greenhouses, Public Gardens, and Other Institutions
Educators and researchers need modern greenhouses and equipment to advance the understanding of cultivation as well as plant genetics and cultivars to enhance our lifestyles and protect endangered species.
Public gardens and private institutions continue to invest in the maintenance and restoration of their historic structures and improve the experience and enjoyment for the people who visit.
Rough Brothers/RBI (founded in 1932) and Nexus Greenhouse Systems (founded in 1967) have served universities, teaching greenhouses, and other institutional entities for decades by providing them with high-quality, well-crafted, reliable greenhouse structures and maintenance and restoration services.
They have now joined forces under a dynamic new brand—Prospiant—to cover your greenhouse needs from end-to-end.
The Right Minds for Your Project
There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all greenhouse project.
Not when you want to create the ideal growing environment, visitor experience, or a flexible infrastructure to support your educational and research ambitions.
Or maybe you are focused on maintaining or restoring greenhouse structures that remain central to your educational or research mission or your community’s heritage.
Our teams have succeeded at every
aspect of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) —
architectural design, installation, integration, operations,
maintenance, expansion and restoration — over and
over again.
We can help you select the method that best
advances your growing agenda.
