GBC - Limberlost Place
Limberlost Place is a 10-storey mass timber-steel hybrid building located in East Bayfront in Toronto, Ontario. As an integral part of George Brown College's waterfront campus, this academic tower exemplifies net-zero carbon design, housing various student learning spaces and common rooms.
The building's distinctive architecture not only contributes to the redefinition of the Toronto skyline but also showcases innovative features. Notably, it employs a CLT-concrete composite floor system, the first of its kind, which utilizes kerf plates to engage the composite action. The building boasts a remarkable mass timber pedestrian bridge that connects the pre-existing and new structures, while several columns in the main foyer rise uninterrupted over 3 storeys, adding to the building's unique aesthetic.
