The GH Biowall in the lobby of the GH building was the first large scale installation in Ontario, and remains one of the largest ever built. But at almost 20 years old, the wall needs extensive infrastructure refurbishment.

Work has commenced with the wall expected to be returned to its former beauty by November 2022.

Humber College has partnered with New Earth Solutions, an organization with extensive experience in biowall repairs, refurbishment and maintenance.

Major activities include:

• removal of old plants and growing media
• infrastructure repairs and upgrades including new ABS air plenum
• installation of new plants (5,077 tropical plants consisting of over 15 species)

Once complete, the new biowall will occupy four storeys of wall space and will once again proudly grace over the University of Guelph-Humber atrium.

Stay tuned for updates.
