Two B.C. projects were named winners at the 2024 Structural Engineering Excellence (SEE) Awards. Presented by the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations, the annual awards honour projects that showcase ingenuity, technical skill, and groundbreaking design in the field.

  • The Presentation Centre at Fraser Mills exemplifies innovative mass timber systems through its inventive structural engineering and community-focused design. Notably, the Centre is among the first in British Columbia to use cantilevered glulam columns for lateral support. 
  • The new Tall Timber Student Housing tower at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in Burnaby, British Columbia represents a shift forward in tall, hybrid, encapsulated mass timber construction. Utilizing the latest advances in engineered wood products, pre-fabrication, and encapsulation strategies, this project represents significant progress in the field of hybrid-mass timber buildings.
