Mjøstårnet is an 85.4 meter tall residential/hotel/office building in Brumunddal, Norway completed in 2019. It is composed entirely of engineered timber and is recognized as the tallest timber building in the world. The building contains 33 apartments, 72 hotel rooms, and 175 parking spaces across 18 floors above ground and 1 floor below ground. Key structural elements include glue-laminated timber beams and columns and cross-laminated timber core walls. The timber construction allows the building to be constructed with a significantly lower carbon footprint than concrete or steel alternatives.

About Mjøstårnet
The design concept of Mjøstårnet was inspired by the Paris Agreement to combat climate change and began as an idea to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions while sustainably sourcing construction materials locally.

All key structural components of Mjøstårnet are composed of engineered timber, utilizing glue-laminated timber for beams and columns and
cross-laminated timber for the core walls containing the building’s elevator and stairway shafts. The glue-laminated columns were fabricated
with pre-drilled holes and assembled onsite into vertical trusses of up to five floors in height, providing stability to horizontal and vertical
forces. Floor slabs for levels 11 and below are also crafted from timber beams, topped with laminated veneer lumber and a thin 50-millimeter
layer of concrete for acoustical and vibrational performance, while levels 12 and above have floor slabs fully composed of concrete to increase
weight and achieve the desired dynamic behavior in periods of strong winds.
