The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) Headquarters and Multi-Tenant Commercial Building has won a 2024 LOOP Design Award in the Architecture: Offices category!

This project, MTA’s first completed mass timber building, is a highly sustainable, financially viable, and innovative new workplace for the leaders of the OSSTF — an organization that represents all education professionals in the secondary school system in Ontario. Joined by a central atrium, the building offers abundant outside views, light, openness, and numerous opportunities for spontaneous interactions between the OSSTF staff and tenants. Every design decision was led through the lens of OSSTF’s values, propelled by the vision of creating a facility made from a renewable resource that sequesters carbon from the atmosphere and is harvested from Canadian-owned industries under sustainable regulations. This has resulted in a building design that is warm, welcoming, inclusive workplace that is thoughtfully connected to the natural beauty of its surroundings.

Thank you to everyone who cast a vote in favour of this project!
