The new Wood Innovation and Design Centre (WIDC) in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, will be a 27 metre tall building of engineered wood made from local species, including; Douglas fir, spruce, hemlock, and western red cedar.
In addition to hosting the WIDC, the city-owned building will also house the University of Northern British Columbia's new masters of engineering program in tall wood design.
You can see an animated video render of the design here.
