Project of the Month

U of T constructing Canada’s tallest academic timber building


It’s a building that will set a precedent for sustainable design. Pomerleau and its client, the University of Toronto, recently celebrated the mass timber building-raising for the Academic Wood Tower at the St. George Campus in Toronto. Designed by award-winning Canadian firms Patkau Architects and MJMA Architecture & Design with consulting from Blackwell Structural Engineers and Smith+Andersen, the Academic Wood Tower’s unique and sustainable structure has already won a Canadian Architect Award of Excellence.


Anticipated to be completed in 2026, the tower will stand at 14 storeys and 77 metres, making it the tallest timber building in Canada at the time of completion. It will also set new standards for tall hybrid steel-timber structures.


The mass timber “building raising” event ceremonially marked the start of construction, much like a formal groundbreaking, a release indicates.


The event provided an opportunity for project participants and supporters to hand sign one of the mass timbers before it is used in the construction of the building. 


A mass timber project of this nature follows a growing international trend towards tall timber structures, which are lauded for their low carbon footprint and fire safety, the release adds. The building is expected to serve as a case study for designers and engineers who can analyze this milestone achievement and potentially apply the tower’s best practices to their own projects.


Located near Devonshire Place and Bloor Street on the St. George campus, the tower will provide spaces for the Rotman School of Management, the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy in the Faculty of Arts and Scienceand the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education.
