George Brown College’s new Limberlost Place is a spectacle of mass timber construction superlatives
Limberlost under construction, December 2022.Limberlost under construction, December 2022.Looking at a construction site from across the street is one thing; standing directly underneath a chunk of structural wood that could crush you like an ant is quite another. It’s exhilarating, with oohs and ahhs spilling often from the lips of those assembled on this mild January day.
But, like the time I toured the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal at the ROM while still an angular steel skeleton, it’s the bones of Limberlost that are the star right now – except here they won’t be covered up before occupancy. And although wind is whistling through those beams today – as well as a few lazy snowflakes – it’s still possible to get a sense of the open/inspirational spaces and the cozy/contemplative spaces as well.
“We’re opening a non-profit child care facility here,” said Mr. Cressy as we walked the area, which will feature a wall that looks like a forest. “It’s always [about] how do you not only build a building, but build a neighbourhood; it brings entry into the building, so suddenly your building isn’t just for people to work or study.”
