As cities across the U.S. work toward carbon neutrality and smarter infrastructure, C-TRAN’s new campus expansion in Vancouver, Washington, offers a compelling model for what sustainable public transit facilities can look like. At the heart of the design is mass timber — a renewable, low-carbon material that enhances energy efficiency, reduces construction time and cost, and promotes a healthier, more inviting environment for employees.
Designed by Ankrom Moisan, the facility prioritizes operator well-being and environmental responsibility. From its locally sourced mass plywood panels (MPP) to its biophilic benefits and modular construction, the project represents a thoughtful intersection of innovation and long-term sustainability while helping C-TRAN support the City of Vancouver’s broader green goals.
