Limberlost Place is Ontario’s first tall timber institutional building. Designed for George Brown College, the 10-storey structure uses an innovative, beamless hybrid system of mass timber and concrete. It showcases structural clarity, integrated M&E design, and high environmental performance. As a pioneering project in the timber movement, it sets a benchmark for educational spaces that teach through structure.
A thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed hybrid structure that brings together mass timber and concrete with technical clarity and environmental intent. The engineers developed and rigorously tested a bespoke shear connection system, enabling an elegant and efficient structural solution. As an educational building, it showcases the best of structural engineering while creating an inspiring space for future generations.
