Regional Online Seminar (AK, ID, HI, OR, WA)

This course is intended for project teams who are seeking a full system understanding of the unique design considerations associated with mass timber schools. There are many cases of teams that want to realize the full benefits of mass timber, but, because they base their designs on traditional building practices instead of optimizing them for mass timber, end up with avoidable price premiums. Mass timber is a unique, non-commodity building material and, to lay the groundwork for success, certain critical decisions must be made as early as possible.

This presentation will address critical early decisions that impact cost efficiency and project success, including construction types, fire ratings, column grids, beam and panel spans, acoustics, and MEP integration. We’ll look at example framing options for common classroom and corridor configurations, as well as solutions for long-span roofs in gymnasiums. Design and detailing topics specific to school performance criteria such as acoustics and durability will be discussed. Topics will also include important considerations for preconstruction coordination, project delivery, and interactions between the manufacturer and design/construction teams.
