An interesting story in G&M today: a proposed 13-story building in Quebec, using structural wood (CLT) construction:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on...e26453443/

CLT certainly has an advantage over traditional wood frame construction in that it is a solid wood panel (essentially plywood on steroids) when it comes to fire, sound and structural resistance. The only local example I am aware of using CLT is the new St. Jacobs market building which used CLT floor panels imported from Europe which then received a concrete topping. I am hopeful that wood will become more common as a far superior product from an environmental point of view than steel and concrete for larger projects.
