June 18, 2026 | 1 min to read
University of Melbourne students in collaboration with CAS Energy have developed a smart greenhouse and living lab concept that addresses real‑world challenges in food security, sustainability and climate resilience.
As part of the University of Melbourne’s Students Consulting on University Translation (SCOUT) initiative a multidisciplinary team of students from architecture, science, engineering, IT and business worked across Semester 1 2026 to create a high-yield smart greenhouse and living lab project.
The greenhouse integrates controlled environment agriculture, renewable energy generation and circular water management. The greenhouse was designed as a living lab, and will continue to support ongoing learning, research, teaching, experimentation and industry engagement.
