This study was commissioned to develop comprehensive 7- to 12-storey archetypes for comparison of the potential methods and a means of construction in B.C. The goal was to examine the scope of activities involved during the production, distribution and installation of building components and systems, and the construction planning process of affordable, high performance multi-unit housing.

Inside the Expansion at the Washington School for the Deaf, Divine Academic & Hunter Gymnasium.

This report summarizes acoustic testing at the Washington School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (WSD) conducted by LSTN Consultants (Denis Blount and Leah Guszkowski) on Thursday, January 2, 2025. Detailed test reports are attached as appendices to this document. The intent of the testing was to measure the in-situ acoustic performance of various mass timber floor-ceiling assemblies throughout the campus’ newly completed facilities. The building was designed by Mithun (architect), PCS Structural Solutions (structural engineer) and A3 Acoustics (acoustic consultant).
