The Ask
By utilizing innovative materials and design, the Sprung team wanted to create a structure that not only meets the highest standards of quality and durability, but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices. The team wanted a structure where a variety of food could be grown throughout the year, both for Sprung employees and for local restaurants in southern Alberta, Canada.
How Sprung Delivered
Built in 2016, Sprung’s on-site greenhouse is 4,200 square feet and features a highly translucent membrane that provides diffused lighting for optimal growing conditions.
