Presented by Mike Love, Superintendent, PCL Construction Enterprises, Inc. | Carol Phillips, Partner, Moriyama Teshima Architects | Nerys Rau, Director, Design and Construction, George Brown College | Ted Watson, Partner, MJMA

Higher education must lead by example to promote widespread adoption of carbon sequestering mass timber while also delivering an enriched student experience. This session will use two leading-edge examples to discuss the state of mass timber, its significant benefits, challenges, mitigations, and integrated delivery. Through lessons learned from our integrated planning processes, we'll show you how to lead, advocate for, and manage mass timber and advanced sustainability efforts to deliver a healthy, sustainable carbon neutral campus environment.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Explain the health and environmental value of mass timber construction.
  2. Describe effective applications of mass timber on campus and provide persuasive arguments relating to health and sustainability for its adoption.
  3. Account for the challenges associated with mass timber in the campus context and be able to provide mitigating approaches to limit risks.
  4. Explain how to best structure an integrated planning and design process for a mass timber project to maximize benefits for the environment.
