Plan is to tear down the conservatory...and soon because funding was denied. With enough signatures we can save our historic conservatory. It has been used by many students for use as a sanctuary and study tool. As well as a public enjoyment.

THIS CLASSIC LORD AND BURNHAM GREENHOUSE IS WORTH PRESERVING. I WAS PART OF THE GROUP ('75 ALUM.) THAT HELPED DECONSTRUCT THE CONSERVATORY FROM THE BLACK ESTATE IN MANSFIELD. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL FACET OF THE CAMPUS.

Our family knows this very well. Our son and daughter in law both graduated from OS U. My son worked in the greenhouse for many years, we as a family visited it many times. What a shame it would be to lose this beautiful structure. Part of the lives of many people

This lovely and unique piece of architecture should be conserved for the joy and functionality it adds to the OSU ATI campus. It's a shame these ground are becoming a commercialized branch of Ohio state when it has wonderful refuges like this.

This is a piece of local history that we need to save. We've lost to much recently, the Overholt house, many other gorgeous houses on ATI/OARDC property that can never be replaced, don't let this disappear too.

I actually had an interview and got hired for a garden assistant position inside of the conservatory! It’s a very serene, peaceful and calm environment and an important piece of history that should be kept alive.

As a graduate of the Greenhouse Program at ATI, removing the Conservatory takes away the chances for students to learn about exotics and interiorscapes. The history of this structure is also vital to the campus.

This building was an awesome part of my classes and loved being inside this place to learn.
