Brock Commons Tallwood House

Brock Commons Tallwood House is an 18-storey student residence at the Point Grey Campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada.

[3] The 1958 mosaic mural "Symbols of Education" by Lionel and Patricia Thomas, commissioned by the university's 1958 graduating class, will be moved as a result.

[5] Acton Ostry Architects designed the building with structural engineering firm Fast + Epp, which received consultation services from Architekten Hermann Kaufmann of Vorarlberg, Austria, for tall-wood construction.

[9] Construction of the structure and facade began in June 2016[7] and was completed by a work crew of nine individuals in 57 days,[10] rising at a rate of about 2 floors per week.

[8] The frame is built of pre-fabricated engineered timber[11] manufactured by Penticton-based Structurlam, and the structure also consists of a concrete foundation and steel components.

[7] The wood structure is panelled with drywall, chosen to satisfy fire safety codes and more quickly obtain municipal permit approvals.
