#DYK @elementfiveco’s #masstimber plant in St. Thomas, ON will produce enough mass #timber for the equivalent of ~8 buildings the size of #BrockCommons, an 18-storey mass timber residence at @UBC? The factory could be in production as early as December! https://t.co/XhHTWzRQP0
What makes #wood the better builder? It’s more efficient & requires less energy to manufacture than other building materials PLUS it sequester #carbon. The carbon benefit of @UBC’s #BrockCommons = the amount of energy needed to operate a home for 222 yrs! https://t.co/gVM0T91MDQ
#DYK: In 2017 @UBC's #BrockCommons residence was the 🌎's tallest #timber building? An example of how #sustainable 🇨🇦 construction uses high-quality 🪵 for high-rises while complying with strict fire & safety regulations.

@BuildTallSafe @katerrainc I am not sure this is quite true. In the case of #brockcommons @ubc the 18 story #CLT bldg has #concrete stairwells and elevator shafts that support the weight of the CLT. Also because #wood burns no wood is allowed to be exposed. Just the facts please!

The tallest wood building in the world, #UBC #BrockCommons, is paving the road to the vision of a wooden Empire State Building. #masstimber https://t.co/an4NSLt8wo
Jury was impressed by the waste reduction that resulted from factory #prefabrication, the speed of #construction, the technical #innovation, the holistic approach to #sustainability - including carbon sequestration and life cycle issues. | #UBC #BrockCommons #Tallwood House

@McSweeneyCAC. Thank you for your leadership! You are on the mark to emphasize that #Concrete #Cement are key ingredients when it comes to climate action! Essential ingredients for the #BrockCommons at @UBC. 1st floor podium, concrete stairwells, concrete floors...#climatechange

With their 18-story #BrockCommons building at @UBC, @ActonOstry supplements mass #timber walls, columns, &floors with a concrete core in order to allow for a taller, more rigid structure. Learn more about #wood construction! https://t.co/WNKjlw7iwy
Thank you @ubcprez & @UBC colleagues for hosting my curious mind. I’m so impressed with the #BrockCommons student residence-tallest mass timber building in the world. Nice to see innovation & collaboration in action! https://t.co/a8v3AmRD7a
@KenCarrusca @UBC The advocates of tall #wood #buildings NEVER tell the full story. @UBC #BrockCommons cost at least 10% more than #concrete and not one piece of wood is visible because it is susceptible to #fire. Only when Gov’t pays will tall wood bldgs exceed 6 stories
#BrockCommons, world's tallest mass timber building located at UBC, opened ahead of target date https://t.co/JfBd3aqodM via @constructdive
