Event Description

Join CTBUH at the recently completed Limberlost Place, a new addition to George Brown College’s Waterfront Campus. This event will whet appetites for a wider discussion to be held at the CTBUH 2025 International Conference, taking place from 6 – 9 October 2025. Following an introduction from CTBUH CEO Javier Quintana de Uña, the presentations and discussion will delve into policies, projects and design practices geared towards creating the best space for the occupant, by maximizing social interaction, utilizing recycled and/or sustainable materials, and connecting projects to wider city networks and infrastructure. Limberlost Place will be featured prominently as a case-study as we offer an inside look at the building.

Following the panel discussion, join us for a networking reception with opportunities to tour more of the building with key members of the project team.
