Build with FSC
Project owners, architects, communities, and business leaders demand environmental responsibility from their buildings. Choosing FSC®-certified wood is a great place to start.
LEED and the Living Building Challenge provide credits for FSC-certified wood and materials, which helps projects achieve these green building rating systems.
FSC’s Chain of Custody (CoC) system tracks wood products from point of harvest to point of installation - establishing transparency and accountability in your supply chain.

Formula 1 Grand Prix Paddocks
Ready. Set. Go. F1 gets a new more permanent home made with FSC certified cross laminated timber.
As part of a renewal agreement for the Canadian Grand Prix, the City of Montreal committed to replacing the temporary structures used for the Formula 1 race with a permanent building that would accommodate the needs of the event.
The new paddock would need to include garages for the racing teams, office space, rooms for the race sponsor, lounge space for 5,000 people, and a media center for journalists and broadcasters all within a short 10 month period and a budget of $60 million CAD.
Designed by Les Architects FABG, the multi-purpose facility roof structure incorporates FSC-certified cross-laminated (CLT) timber, glued-laminated beams and CLT decking supplied by Nordic Structures.
