IDM grow lab
a multisensory ag-tech display
The Grow Lab is a physical manifestation of the IDM-NYU’s Grow program, offering students, faculty and visitors an opportunity to learn about AgTech through the vertical hydroponic garden, germination station, and interactive display. The Grow Lab is the first and currently only garden or green space in the department. Yield from the garden and germination station will be shared with the department and local partners, while flowers grown on site can be placed around the floor to help decorate and invigorate the space. In addition to promoting the program, the IDM.Grow Lab also offers proven health benefits through air purification and overall increase in mental wellness.
