Mass Timber Safety – A Video by the Canadian Wood Council
Have you ever wondered if wood buildings are more likely to catch fire?
This video by the Canadian Wood Council (CWC) explains how mass timber offers a safe, sustainable, and innovative solution for construction. MTA’s project for the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF/FEESO), the new Headquarters and Multi-Tenant Building, is featured throughout.
“The warmth, the connection with nature – having the feeling that you have coming into a building like this really sets the tone for the future in this type of construction.”
– Ryan Desjardins, Eastern Construction Company Limited
Thank you to the CWC for producing this informative video! We are pleased to see fellow architecture, construction, and engineering professionals dispelling common falsehoods of mass timber, and look forward to seeing more uptake on this sustainable, renewable building material across the industry.
