Pair want inventors, builders thinking inside the Toolbox

A manufacturing idea center called Toolbox has started filling leased space near the Riverpoint campus with products to test new technologies and materials.

One corner has an Omega Greenhouse prototype for urban raised-bed gardening. In early March the greenhouse already held tall tomato, cucumber, pepper and basil plants.

Another idea is part of Toolbox’s ongoing remodeling, testing cross-laminated panels made with wood pieces that are reconfigured for increased strength.

Tenants also will try out a sunshade louver that bounces natural light far inside of buildings and ties in with sensor-controlled LED lighting technology to dim interior bulbs opposite sunlight levels.
