This document provides a case study of a laboratory and office building constructed with cross-laminated timber (CLT) elements in Graz, Austria. The building features suspended CLT plates for the laboratory hall roof spanning 19.48 meters, and CLT walls with boxed cross sections. Prefabricated wall and roof elements were assembled with a high level of prefabrication, lifted with cranes, and erected in a short time period between 1999-2001. Plans, sections, connection details, and photos document the CLT structural system.
