The Concordia Greenhouse Project is an initiative that uses the Henry F. Hall building rooftop greenhouse as an all-organic space, geared towards education and research, urban sustainability, food security and community-building. As an educational space, the greenhouse seeks to be an environment for workshops, projects and events that address urban sustainability issues. The greenhouse strives to implement projects in a sustainable manner, taking measures to ensure that the consumption of resources such as water, energy, and building materials are minimized in the planning and implementation of projects.

The Concordia Greenhouse is a working group of Sustainable Concordia, a student organization on campus that is funded through a student fee levy. The Greenhouse project relies on fundraising from plant sales, plant rentals, and space rentals as well as, grants from internal funding sources such as the Sustainability Action Fund and the Concordia Campus Student Life fund. However the Greenhouse project does not have a stable or guaranteed budget.
