Resources

The Ways and Means

Throughout this process of growth in the PMBB Program, considerable resources were brought to bear such that modern and well-equipped laboratory facilities are available to researchers and students affiliated with the PMBB Program. A major renovation project in the late 1980's resulted in the formation of the Plant Biotechnology Center, housed at Rightmire Hall on the west campus in Columbus. When the PMBB Program was formed, Plant Biotechnology was folded into the PMBB Program and this facility at Rightmire Hall is an important part of the overall PMBB effort. Rightmire Hall provides excellent state of the art laboratory facilities with adjacent well-maintained greenhouse space available for the 7 PMBB researchers currently in residence in this building. Indeed, a large NSF grant provided resources to establish the plant growth and research facilities required. With recently acquired space, Rightmire will also become the home of the administrative offices of the PMBB Program; laboratory space is available for 2 additional PMBB members, at least one of which will be a new PMBB hire. Additional research and greenhouse space is found in nearby Howlett and Kottman Halls with these buildings housing several PMBB members. PMBB members are also located on the main part of the Columbus campus in the Biological Sciences and Riffe Buildings, close to where a new Life Sciences Building is being constructed that will become the eventual home of several PMBB faculty. Finally, members of the PMBB group are also housed at the Wooster campus, where unique opportunities for basic and, especially applied research, are available, including large research plots and specialized greenhouse facilities.
