Concordia's tightened budget could limit public access to the original Greenhouse space for up to seven years.
Concordia University says the Concordia Greenhouse Project must raise $1.5 million if it hopes to return to its original space on the 13th floor of the Henry F. Hall Building by 2027.
Concordia's Greenhouse left its former space in February 2024 due to renovations and reopened in a smaller "Greenspace" on the seventh floor for the following fall semester.
The Greenhouse is not a priority in Concordia's renovation budget, according to the university. The Quebec government imposed a new annual threshold on infrastructure expenses, leaving Concordia with less financial liberty.
