Wood isn’t a new building material, but it is re-emerging stronger than ever thanks to cross-laminated timber, a type of wood panel that acts more like steel than wood. Not only is it strong, but it brings environmental, safety and wellbeing benefits to the commercial real estate industry. Time is running out to renew your company's membership with BOMA BC.
