NIC Students Build Greenhouse for Courtenay Restaurant

Students at North Island College have done something special for a Courtenay restaurant.

NIC Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Randall Heidt says students developed and built a working greenhouse for the Prime Chophouse and Wine Bar in Courtenay. The greenhouse will allow the restaurant to grow its own fresh herbs, spices and vegetables to be used in-house.

Heidt says it was a combination idea of former Board Chair Bruce Bell, Kory Wagstaff, who owns the Prime and himself. Faculty at North Island College played a huge part in the greenhouse project’s development, including carpentry instructors Tom Klatt and Erik Hardin.

There will be an unveiling ceremony at the Prime Chophouse on Thursday, October 19th.
