Ascent is a 25 storey building and when complete, is set to be the tallest timber building in the world. The mass timber floors are constructed above five levels of concrete. The system adopts a glum post and beam with CLT floor plates. Today we’re lucky to be speaking with John Peronto, Senior Principal at Thornton Tomasetti about:

• The lateral stability system as we get taller
• The compliance pathway for the project
• Allowing for tolerances for fast installation
• And a lot more
