Mass Timber Case Study Deep Dives
Oregon Ballroom 201DEEP DIVE #3 | Innovative Mass Timber for Cutting-edge Tech: HP Inc. Research & Development Facility in Vancouver, Washington
Innovation is at the heart of many successful technology companies. HP’s recently completed 225,000 square foot, three-story, sustainably-harvested mass timber R&D building features an innovative stacked glulam structure fabricated by Zip-O Laminators that supports distribution of MEP building systems. SmartLam CLT panels were for the first time load-tested as beams to create a folded sawtooth roof with clerestory windows to bring daylight into the large open office floorplates. The timber structure is largely exposed which limits finish material expenses and, when compared to conventional construction methods, reduced building foundation costs. Lean Building and Target Value Design processes were employed to efficiently navigate overlapping project design, timber procurement and fabrication timelines while meeting the project budget and schedule.
The panel discussion will feature Owner, Architect, Engineer, and Builder project team representatives who will speak about the challenges and benefits associated with building the ILFI Net-Zero Carbon and LEED Gold facility. Panelists will highlight mass timber procurement and construction schedule and coordination efforts, discuss lessons learned, regional material sourcing options, and how the facility was designed to support innovation, collaboration, and operational efficiency.
Attendees will gain new insights on how mass timber construction can efficiently enrich their projects.
DEEP DIVE #4 | Atlassian Central: Unpacking the Design Behind the World's Tallest Hybrid Timber Building
Over 39-storeys high, Atlassian’s proposed Australian headquarters, located above Central Station, as Sydney’s tallest hybrid-timber commercial tower, and the tallest of its kind in the world. The complex design will push physical limits and hybrid-timber structure will predominantly house commercial offices, with retail and accommodation facilities adaptable for the changing needs and expectations of Sydney’s tech community.
Currently under construction, Atlassian Central is becoming a landmark in Sydney, showcasing what is possible in hybrid mass timber construction for the Australian and International market. In addition to its striking design, Atlassian Central, co-owned by Dexus and Atlassian, is generating a wave of interest and accolade for its high sustainability targets, a focus since the start of the design.
As a panel, representatives from the project team are going to present on the client brief, architectural design, engineering and construction behind Atlassian Central. Across varying disciplines, the whole picture from the initial client’s perspective will be shared, including the project objectives and how the Architect, Structural Engineer, Fire Engineer and Main Contractor have worked collectively to realise this project.
