SUSTAINABILITY The four-story building, which will also include one floor of underground parking, will be constructed of mass timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT) from Timberlab, a trade with Swinerton. Mass timber construction is a low-carbon alternative to concrete and steel, providing exceptional strength and stability with the aesthetic benefits of exposed joinery, and the warmth of wood columns, beams and ceilings. Mass timber uses state-of-the-art technology to layer wood products together, resulting in large and exceptionally strong and versatile structural floor panels, posts, and beams. Due to advances in building codes, mass timber structures can now reach 18 stories, and using it will be a first for DC+A.
