Proud, confident and imaginative. This series of Case Studies demonstrates how Canadian building designers are finding exciting uses for Canada’s oldest, yet newest building material – world-renowned quality wood products that can meet all the challenges of modern building science. The Wood WORKS! Program was conceived to show the world how to create amazing living and working environments with building materials that are renewable and have a low environmental price tag.
Supported by industry and government, Wood WORKS!, a Canadian Wood Council initiative, is more than a resource for wood construction, engineered wood products and building systems. It is an affirmation of Canada’s world leadership in the management of forest resources, the manufacture of quality products, and the design and construction of buildings with these materials. Wood WORKS! is dedicated to your success in building with wood, developing your expertise and celebrating your pride. Since its launch, the Wood WORKS! Team has helped several high profile projects meet or exceed building code and owners’ requirements, while offering the best value compared to other building systems. The following projects showcase wood’s potential in construction:
- West Vancouver Aquatic Centre (West Vancouver, British Columbia)
- Hinton Government Centre (Hinton, Alberta)
- Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts /Bobby Orr Hall of Fame (Parry Sound, Ontario)
- Rutland Elementary School (Kelowna, British Columbia)
- St-Prime Golf Clubhouse (St-Prime, Quebec)
- Intuit Canada Headquarters (Edmonton, Alberta)
- Vancouver Island Regional Library, Courtenay Branch (Courtenay, British Columbia)
- Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (Thunder Bay, Ontario)
Wood WORKS! is managed and supported by the Canadian wood industry through the Canadian Wood Council, its member associations, several companies and various levels of government (federal and provincial) including Natural Resources Canada.
