UC Davis building $5.25M greenhouse for grapevines


A valuable grapevine collection is housed at the University of California, Davis. Foundation Plant Services at UC Davis accumulated a diverse group of grapevines through long-term collaboration with university scientists and viticulturists and the wine industry in a mutual effort to identify, acquire and develop high-quality wine and table grapes. 
 
Now they are building a $5.25M greenhouse to protect the vines from diseases and pests. Seems like a strange thing to do, but I guess they know what they're doing. 

They've also produced a book about their collection which details the varieties in stock.
