Clients, staff and provincial government representatives join Minister Bell to celebrate the grand opening of Structurlam’s new state-of-the-art value-added wood facility. “Structurlam is an outstanding example of a successful value-added wood products company,” said Bell. “They are leading the way in expanding the market for wood in commercial and institutional construction – both in British Columbia and around the world.”
The company, which started as a small laminating plant in 1962, played a major role in constructing the Richmond Oval, which contains the longest hybrid wood/steel arches in North America. It also worked on the new Art Gallery of Ontario, and is currently constructing the largest wood roof in North America, at the Raleigh-Durham Airport, in North Carolina.
