1 Case Study: TallWood House at Brock Commons The University of British Columbia Presented on January 25, 2017 by Robert Jackson Disclaimer: This presentation was developed by a third party and is not funded by WoodWorks or the Softwood Lumber Board.

2 The Wood Products Council is a Registered Provider with The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems (AIA/CES), Provider #G516. Credit(s) earned on completion of this course will be reported to AIA CES for AIA members. Certificates of Completion for both AIA members and non-aia members are available upon request. This course is registered with AIA CES for continuing professional education. As such, it does not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the AIA of any material of construction or any method or manner of handling, using, distributing, or dealing in any material or product. Questions related to specific materials, methods, and services will be addressed at the conclusion of this presentation.

3 Course Description When completed in the spring of 2017, the 18-story TallWood House at Brock Commons will be the tallest contemporary mass wood building in the world. An exceptional example of the advantages of timber prefabrication, this project aspires to be the model for a future that includes extraordinarily ordinary mass wood buildings. This presentation will introduce the project, discuss the various design approaches considered and explain the process used to arrive at the final solution. While providing a focused discussion on the structural design and unique engineering challenges, the presenter will also provide an introduction to the fire/life safety approach, construction methods and project coordination.

4 Learning Objectives 1. Review the structural system in the context of design challenges and how/why the project team arrived at the final solution. 2. Understand the fire design approach for TallWood House. 3. Discuss the methods employed to deliver a highly prefabricated mass timber project and related construction benefits. 4. Review the cost and quality of the final solution, as well as lessons learned.
