The following Wood Central article highlights the potential of mass timber design, particularly with full-scale post-and-plate systems, to transform the construction industry toward greater sustainability. It emphasizes the environmental benefits of using wood over traditional materials like steel and concrete, such as reducing carbon footprints and offering renewable solutions.

Structural innovations made in recent years are key to making mass timber more feasible and cost-effective, aligning with global sustainability goals and signaling a positive future for eco-friendly building practices. We are proud to be working with a trailblazer in the industry, Fast + Epp Engineers, on MTA’s first completed mass timber building, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation Headquarters and Multi-Tenant Commercial Building, as well as Limberlost Place (pictured) at George Brown College (a collaboration with Acton Ostry Architects).
