Description
The objective of this Project is to test small structures made from underutilized lumber and mass timber in decommissioned buildings, and develop design guidelines that comply with fire codes to foster innovation and create rapid social housing solutions.
Description (French)
L'objectif de ce projet est de tester de petites structures fabriquées à partir de bois d'œuvre sous-utilisés et de bois massif dans des bâtiments déclassés et d'élaborer des lignes directrices de conception conformes aux codes de prévention des incendies pour favoriser l'innovation et créer des solutions rapides de logements sociaux.
Expected Results
The project will serve as an innovative small structure design concept made from underutilized lumber and mass timber, that can be used by municipalities, provinces and not-for-profit housing organizations to extend the service life of decommissioned buildings and transform them into temporary housing.
Expected Results (French)
Le projet servira de concept innovant de conception de petites structures fabriquées à partir de bois d'œuvre sous-utilisés et de bois massif, qui pourra être utilisé par les municipalités, les provinces et les organismes de logement sans but lucratif pour prolonger la durée de vie des bâtiments déclassés et les transformer en logements temporaires.
