B.C has become a world leader in mass-timber buildings. Read about it in this Vancouver Sun article. Mass Timber has close connections to Burnaby and BCIT.

What is Mass Timber?

• Mass timber is a sustainable building material that is engineered through fastening multiple layers of smaller dimension wood together with glue, dowels or nails. Mass timber products are solid, structural load-bearing components, such as columns, beams and panels used to construct residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
