PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Mean Greens Acres Hydroponic Farm

University of North Texas – Dining Services

Outside the Box

UNT’s hydroponic farm, Mean Green Acres, received funding for expansion to an additional freight container. As the container would be public facing, we needed to make it look nice and tie the farm to Mean Greens Café and Dining Services as a whole. This photo shows the farm prior to the wrap.

Limitations
