The British Columbia Institute of Technology has received $995K from the Government of Canada’s Green Construction through Wood program to build the Robert Bosa Carpentry Pavilion. This zero-carbon, passive house, LEED Gold and Rick Hansen-certified building will be built out of mass timber. The pavilion will be used as an educational hub that contributes to the province’s climate plan by offering training in mass timber and hybrid construction. “The investment from Natural Resources Canada towards the development of the BCIT Robert Bosa Carpentry Pavilion exemplifies Canada’s leadership in sustainable construction practices while providing a living lab that enhances training and research opportunities for the next generation of skilled tradespeople,” said BCIT President Dr Jeff Zabudsky.
