Three years ago I visited what was then a pile of Cross-Laminated Timber being assembled into an architecture school in Sudbury, Ontario, designed by LGA Architectural Partners. It was the first major CLT building in the province, containing 550 cubic meters (19423 cubic feet) of wood, which Woodworks! said would grow in North America in about two minutes. It will store 389 tonnes of carbon dioxide. And now it is complete, known as the McEwen School of Architecture at Laurentian University, with a curriculum that “emphasizes architecture and fabrication techniques focused on the traditional and evolving aspects of life in the north, including Indigenous culture, wood construction, local ecologies and resources, and design for the impact of climate change.”
