Last week, our team was thrilled to witness firsthand the progress of construction for the Garden House at Packer Collegiate. We joined Noah Howard, Agata Vetter and our partners from BLDG Works, who provided valuable insights into the innovative use of mass timber.
At the forefront of sustainability, the building employs a state-of-the-art Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) framework. Set to open in fall 2025, this facility will serve as the new home for the Lower School, enhancing Packer’s commitment to providing exceptional educational environments and setting new benchmarks in eco-friendly construction.
The renovation of the Garden area, also scheduled to open this fall, will offer a revitalized space for both play and learning. We are proud to be a part of this community-driven project, advancing the frontier in sustainable building practices alongside a remarkable team.
