Our Facility
Our 33,000 sq ft facility was originally designed as a data and disaster recovery center for a defense contractor. The facility provides unparalleled security and environmental systems that have been optimized to create an organic growing environment that is second to none. Our second floor is dedicated to our Vocational and Research Center.
Our Academic & Community Partnerships
In addition to our own curriculum, Sustainable Innovations has partnered with Kishwaukee College on their community college cannabis vocational pilot program. At present, the Illinois Department of Agriculture aims to license at least 8 of these programs within the state. By 2021, these colleges will be allowed to start training interested students.
