Treehugger reported on UBC’s timber tower which was completed ahead of schedule.
The 18-storey building is made of glue-laminated wood columns supporting cross-laminated timber floors. The final wood panel was installed on Aug. 9 and the last glue laminated column was installed on Aug. 12.
“Construction just went really smoothly,” said John Metras, the managing director of UBC Infrastructure. “It was well designed and the construction sequence went smoothly.”
