New Tower

 

They are building a timber tower as an addition to one of the athletic buildings at U of Toronto. When I went by in November it was covered in tarps so I will have to go back to check out the progress.

    Roentare's comment made me laugh -- Toronto has never got over the CN Tower not being the world's tallest anymore, I guess!

    It's going to be really high.

    How unusual to build a high rise building out of timber. I wonder what the advantage is? What about fire protection?

    I had to look it up to make sure I was understanding what type of construction it would be. That is very impressive.

    I'd like to see how tall it's going to be when it's finished.

    How tall do you need to build?

    I didn't know they could build high-rise timber towers.

    An unusual material to build high with.
