While in Vancouver, we had to stop by The Hive, a new mass timber project making waves in British Columbia. With impressive seismic resilience, this ten-storey, high-performance building features cross-laminated timber panels, glulam columns & beams and no concrete core! The decision to use mass timber as the primary structural system contributes to reduced CO2 emissions, with 5,000 m3 of wood sequestering a total of 4,403 metric tons of CO2.
