The Wood Innovation Design Centre (WIDC) serves as a gathering place for researchers, academics, design professionals and others interested in generating ideas for innovative uses of wood. It shows that tall timber buildings can be economical, safe and environmentally superior options for future urban building. The eight-storey building stands 29.5 metres tall, making it one of the world's tallest modern all-timber structures. With this project, the architect sought to demonstrate economical, repeatable technologies for building high-rise structures with timber, in hopes of inspiring institutions, private sector developers and other architects and engineers to embrace this way of building.
