Think Wood

Nimble wood construction at Kresge College emphasizes natural connections! The new buildings are among the first CLT higher-education structures in California. With expert structural engineering by Magnusson Klemencic Associates, the use of mass timber not only reflects the local ecology but also streamlines the construction process on the small, constricted site. https://hubs.la/Q02GPSr30

Mass timber projects have unique considerations regarding managing moisture during the construction phase, and choosing the appropriate level of protection should consider climate, schedule, risk, and budget. At our July webinar, RDH Building Science Principal Colin Shane, M.Eng., P.Eng., PE, will present on this important topic. All WoodWorks monthly webinars are free to attend. Attendees can earn 1.5 AIA/CES HSW LUs, 1.5 PDH credits or 0.15 ICC credits. https://lnkd.in/e3zxCmy8

Project Case Study: 619 Ponce, Atlanta, GA | 4 stories | Type III-B With 22 million acres of commercial timberland, the state of Georgia has been working to take advantage of the growing demand for mass timber. Recognizing the possibilities, real estate investment and management firm Jamestown blended local wood with innovative design, using mass timber to build a four-story office in Atlanta. 619 Ponce is the first commercial project in Georgia to use mass timber made from southern yellow pine (SYP) timber grown in the state. The project demonstrates the influence that developers and their tenants have in generating demand for mass timber construction, particularly in locations that historically have not had a clear supply and manufacturing chain, and highlights the potential for #masstimber market expansion across the country.
