The Oregon State University Greenhouse Operations (GOPS) unit, managed by the College of Agricultural Sciences Agricultural Experiment Station (CAS AES), oversees the management of the East and West Greenhouses on the university campus in Corvallis. With a dedicated staff consisting of a Manager, Assistant Manager, Bio Science Research Technicians, Student Residents, and Student Workers, GOPS ensures the smooth functioning of these research greenhouses.
The East Greenhouse, built in 1927 by Thompson's Horticultural Works, serves as the office location for Greenhouse Operations. On the other hand, the West Greenhouse, also constructed by Thompson's Horticultural Works, is primarily utilized by the CAS departments of Crop Soil Science, Botany Plant Pathology, and Horticulture for research and teaching purposes. With its extensive glass rooms and fixed roof lab spaces covering an approximate area of 93,000 sq.ft, the West Greenhouse is a vital hub for academic activities in the field of agriculture at Oregon State University.
