The new Cranbrook School Vicars Centenary Building includes a place of worship/chapel built using Glulam and CLT Timber with a 300-person capacity.  
The Norwegian pine Glulam structure was designed in Australia and fabricated in Austria. Due to the intricate design extreme care had to be taken to ensure the timber arrived from Austria in immaculate condition. 
The 24.6m x 16.6m Glulam structure was assembled off the roof and craned into position on the steel supports when completed. The Glulam components weighed 12.35 tonnes which consisted of a total of 105 Glulam members that were used to assemble four roof types and three cassettes. 
The architectural finish with exposed timbers creates an aesthetically beautiful feature that is the school’s jewel in the crown.
