WoodWorks Innovation Network (WIN)

One of the first #masstimberbuildings in Arizona will be a transit center for Mountain Line, a transit agency in Flagstaff, Arizona. HDR leads the design and engineering, focusing on creating functional spaces for riders and staff. Innovative #construction techniques, like prefabricated wood ledger assemblies, are being used to improve efficiency and quality.

3six0 Architecture has designed a new home for Community MusicWorks, a Providence-based #nonprofit. The 24,000-square-foot #masstimberbuilding, completed in September 2023, provides music instruction and performance space for underserved residents. The #architects carefully considered the #acoustics and #buildingmaterials used in the #construction to prevent the building from amplifying sound. https://lnkd.in/dSwDZQbd

Neutral, a Madison-based developer, is set to build The Edison, a 31-story mass timber skyscraper in Milwaukee. Designed by Chicago's Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, this project will be one of the tallest #masstimberbuildings in the world. Originally planned to be 32 stories, the design has been slightly modified to optimize parking and construction efficiency. The building will feature a large penthouse and utilize over 100,000 cubic feet of #CLT and glulam beams. #Construction is expected to begin in early 2025. https://lnkd.in/eANdYpHK

The new dining hall at Stephen F. Austin State University is a one-story #masstimberbuilding constructed primarily of southern yellow pine. This project aims to revitalize the local timber industry and showcase the beauty of wood #construction. See more about the project, which features exposed timber beams and columns, large windows, and outdoor dining areas, on WIN: https://lnkd.in/gwnj_yAF Matt Kantner, PE, SE Kirksey Architecture

WoodWorks' Mass Timber Comparative Life Cycle Assessment Series compares mass timber buildings to functional equivalents in concrete or steel. All projects in the study (found here: https://lnkd.in/e9duXM6t) are also on WIN. See what projects have completed WBLCAs on the WIN map: https://lnkd.in/ef5CJwBP

FFA Architecture and Interiors, Inc. is incorporating #masstimber into the design of a new Santa Barbara Police Department building. The building will be Net Zero-Carbon and serve as an emergency response center. Learn more about the design on WIN: https://lnkd.in/es7cD_xA ★ John A.

WoodWorks has been partnering with partners in Maui to advance the use of #masstimber across Hawaii, offering a sustainable, fire-resistant, and fast-to-construct building solution. This effort includes training local workers, designing Hawaii’s first mass timber home on Kauai, and incorporating mass timber into plans for rebuilding Lahaina homes after the wildfires. With support from the USDA Forest Service, the initiative provides free or reduced-cost design plans and on-site training, aiming to reduce carbon impact, promote resilience, and create opportunities for the next generation of builders in Hawaii. Hawaii Off Grid : Architecture & Engineering “We want to encourage the next generation to stay on the Island, and get involved in the industry,” said Matt Kopp, project manager at Hawaii Off Grid : Architecture & Engineering. “We anticipate a massive demand for contractors who know how to work with mass timber in the coming years.” https://lnkd.in/ggEdjBmN
