In partnership with Aedis Architects and Daedalus Structural Engineering, XL delivered our first TimberQuest mass timber project for Sacred Heart Schools. TimberQuest is a cost and schedule efficient, prefabricated, DSA pre-checked solution that provides 21st-century learning environments within a high-quality, healthy and sustainable mass timber facility. The project is approximately 4,000 s.f., containing four 1,000 s.f. classrooms, each with a restroom. This project was built out with a quick turn around of 11 weeks during the summer of 2021, with classrooms ready for students to return to school in the fall.

Two of the things we liked most about this classroom design was the ‘daylighting’ created by the structure’s large windows combined with the exposed wood interior that makes the classroom very pleasant and appealing. The building’s overall energy efficiency supports our sustainability philosophy and stands as a shining example of these values we teach to our students.

Director of Operation, Sacred Heart School

The classroom is really inspiring. It’s calm, it’s beautiful. We look out the floor-to-ceiling windows and see beautiful aspects of nature and the kids just feel calm in the space and they feel energized at the same time, to learn.

The TimberQuest product definitely met our expectations — the aesthetics, the design, the speed in which the building can be built, and the cost.
