In Canada we are uniquely placed to be able to build with wood in a way that is more environmentally sensitive and can help meet the new challenges of climate change and urban growth. Pushing the boundaries of wood as a structural material will reduce the carbon signature of buildings as well as providing livable, affordable and culturally appropriate solutions for our urban environment. This presentation will investigate the use of timber construction in several different case studies from the University of British Columbias’s campus, including the 18 storey Brock Commons student residence.
