WOOD WORKS! ELEARNING CENTER E-LEARNING
A hub of knowledge and learning
opportunities about wood in construction
Wood is no longer regarded as a building material simply
for residential, boutique and cosmetic construction.
With the advent of new wood products, advanced
manufacturing technologies and innovative design
techniques, wood is now used in a variety of construction
– bringing its unique properties of beauty, sustainability,
versatility, durability and affordability.
Launched in March 2012 by the Canadian Wood Council and the
national Wood WORKS! program, the Wood WORKS! eLearning Center
is an online resource that provides free professional development
courses for architects, engineers and building professionals.
