1 AIA/CES CEH (HSW) or PDH credit. Mixed use buildings often combine parking and retail uses on the ground level with residential uses above. Wood construction can help maximize value to the community, the environment and the development team. This presentation discusses opportunities and challenges for wood podium design with reference to a recently completed mixed use wood podium building. Topics include, code analysis, green/sustainable benefits, dimensional drivers, structural constraints, design for management of wood for the long term.
