Dependable, Job-ready Materials

At Channel Lumber, we’re proud to have supported the construction of the Pixar Animation Studios campus in Emeryville, California—a landmark commercial project designed to inspire creativity and collaboration. Built on the site of a former cannery, the campus blends industrial character with refined architectural detail. Our role focused on supplying and delivering dependable, job-ready building materials aligned with the project’s demanding design and performance standards.

The campus features exposed structural elements, specialized screening rooms, and production spaces. Projects of this scale require consistent lumber and plywood availability, clear communication, and precise scheduling. Channel Lumber worked closely with project partners to help ensure materials arrived when and where they were needed, supporting efficient workflows across the site.
