Case Study: Cathedral of Christ The Light
Highlights the use of APA EWS glued-laminated timber beams in the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, California. The design and erection of the structure demonstrate that modern glulam construction can be used to build a significant building intended to be structurally capable and architecturally worthy of lasting 300 years.
