This greenhouse is named in honor of Biology Professor Emeritus Arthur Rempel, one of Whitman's most beloved professors who taught here for over 30 years, and who still serves on the campus landscape committee.
| The Biology department houses a diverse collection of live
plants used for teaching and student research in a new greenhouse at the
front entrance of the 2002 Science wing (right), and another greenhouse
on the roof of the old wing. The collection comprises both North American
and exotic species of taxonomical, ecological, and economical interest.
Each greenhouse has two rooms that contain plants of desert habitats and
plants of more moist environments, including a large number of tropical
orchids. The plants are maintained by student employees (under the supervision
of Dr. Heidi Dobson).
