A distinctive large warehouse made of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam that is taking shape in Langford, B.C., is the latest in a series of wood buildings going up on Vancouver Island since a number of local councils there committed to adopting mass timber technology for taller wood buildings. The build holds the distinction of being one of Canada’s first mass timber warehouses using CLT… Tom Moore, founding partner at Studio 531 Architects, was lead designer of the building. The structure is concrete, slab on grade, but the rest of the building is timber. …The 10,000-square-foot build is being erected as a turnkey warehouse and showroom for EMCO, one of Canada’s largest plumbing supply companies. …Panels for the building were supplied by Katerra. …While Moore has been involved in designing numerous airports, hotels, housing, offices, recreation and fitness centres, the warehouse project has attracted the most publicity.
