Not surprising.

This will be a 42,000 square-foot building. Can someone speculate on a realistic cost for mass timber?

I don't think there's enough precedent to be able to narrow down the cost to a point that you'd be satisfied with the answer

I found a cost and pupil place comparator from Vancouver.

Obviously inflation will have been an issue since then, and the two markets have slightly different costing; but all things being equal I would assume a lower cost in Toronto as the Vancouver school had to have earthquake proofing measures.
