This was an historic day. Architects, engineers and owners will soon have a lower carbon choice of building construction systems to build mid- and high rise buildings with: Mass Timber. We passed ICC floor vote on the new codes today - G108: 68% in favor. lnkd.in/gxBn3kf

Mass timber is no longer just a novel concept used elsewhere in the world. As of June 2018, more than 400 multi-family, commercial, or institutional projects have been constructed out of #masstimber across the U.S. bit.ly/2NVinY9

It’s high-tech. It’s the future. Using innovative products like mass timber increases demand for wood and keeps forests as forests. #masstimber #forests #innovation #forestproud vimeo.com/269928538

Great piece re: what a game-changer cross-laminated timber could be for #ClackCo economies! via @NACoTweets, bit.ly/2tMllSn "A new wood product could be a real economic game-changer for #ClackCo and other counties around the country where timber is harvested."
