The City of Northglenn, Colorado. A new structure was rising there, not of stone and steel to defy nature, but of wood and light, embracing it. We heard tales of a mass timber building in Northglenn, a building that promised to redefine what a civic center could be, and we had to see it for ourselves. This City Hall, a substantial 32,600 square feet, was not a typical concrete behemoth. Instead, it embraced us, by utilizing cross-laminated timber (CLT).
