A model of the proposed student greenhouse project will be displayed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday on the first floor of the Union.

The model is five feet in diameter, said Philip Lamoureux, director of the Student Greenhouse Project, and includes running water, benches and lights.

"We just want to give everyone a feeling of what we're doing," he said.

The Student Greenhouse Project began in 1997 and aims to build a greenhouse independent of any department for the public to enjoy.

The full-scale design is a 100-foot diameter dome and 46-feet tall. The group proposes placing it behind the Old Horticulture Building.

A site has not formally been named.
