The greenhouse was built at the same time as Bunce Hall, the Glassboro Normal School's main building. Construction was completed in July 1923. The structure was designed to augment classroom learning. 

Laurel Hall was the school's first dormitory. Its construction was completed in 1928, housing approximately 80 students.
