Our mass-timber building continues to generate buzz. North America's largest urban innovation hub, MaRS, added The Arbour to its list of Toronto green buildings to get excited about.
Designed by the team of Moriyama and Teshima Architects and Acton Ostry Architects, The Arbour will be Ontario’s first mass-timber and low-carbon institutional building. It will provide learning and community space and house the Mass Timber Research Hub.
MaRS released its list of buzzworthy projects on May 4 and outlined the factors setting the stage for the wave of green building.
“The potential for climate progress is huge: Toronto is the fastest-growing urban area in North America by population, with the most construction cranes on the continent,” Barry Chong of MaRS writes. “And the city’s flourishing cleantech sector of startups stands to benefit from the federal government’s pandemic-era budget, which is loaded with ambitious environmental targets.”
