About

Lancaster University awarded a contract to Conviron Europe Limited for the supply, delivery, siting, and commissioning of two walk-in controlled environment plant growth rooms.

The rooms are designed to deliver high spectral quality, uniform plant growth lighting at high intensity, with one room capable of housing specialist phenotyping equipment (a gantry-based imaging system and floor-mounted lysimeters) supplied by others.

The contract required interaction with the gantry design process to ensure compatibility.

The chambers support a variety of plant species and allow flexible control of light, temperature, and relative humidity, with data logging and interrogation capabilities.

The contract value was £557,000 gross.
