(Located West of the Frank Stockdale Building)

The Department of Life Sciences maintains two greenhouses, a screen house and a gymnosperm collection. In addition, the surrounding grounds house museum plots of plants used in the teaching of Botany. One of the greenhouses has been converted into a shade house and fitted with automatic irrigation and fertigation systems, and is dedicated to research on anthuriums. Part of the second greenhouse is being converted into a GMO house, while the remainder is used for general teaching and research activities. The screen house, consisting of eight insect-proof rooms was originally constructed under a yam virus project, but is presently used for studies with geminiviruses and other insect transmitted diseases.

The greenhouse facilities and activities therein are overseen by a foreman, Mr. Seuchan Kowlessar with the assistance of three labourers: Mr. Harris Sundar, Mr. Aziz Mohamed and Mr. Tony Cadet. The staff member responsible for the greenhouses is Dr. Ayub Khan.
