The centre is part of the University of Liverpool, and Peter Birch, estates service manager with the university, explains that Broag boilers were installed because they are one of the main ranges that the university likes to use throughout its facilities.
The gardens were created in 1898 by Liverpool cotton merchant Arthur Kilpin Bulley, a keen botanist who originally opened part of the gardens to local residents. He laid the foundations of one of the major botanic gardens in the United Kingdom, which was presented to the university by his daughter in 1948.
