Tour of Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment – Building F

This unique educational event will provide an in-depth look at Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment’s Building F. Designers of the 9-story, 273,000 sf building utilized CLT panels on CFS bearing walls to create a sustainable and biophilic project for the building’s tenants. Attendees will tour the site with members of the project team, who will share strategies for successful, cost-effective, code-compliant tall mass timber projects, including insight on design, detailing, and construction techniques utilized throughout the building. The tour format encourages questions and discussion, and attendees can expect to leave with insights on the project’s design, execution, and factors that influenced material and detail selection.

Following the tour join us for a networking happy hour at nearby Brewer’s Fork from 4:00-6:00 pm.

PPE: This is an active jobsite; attendees are required to wear PPE (Safety vest, hard hat, safety glasses) and sturdy hard-soled flat shoes. A limited number of loaner PPE will be available to those who need it – please indicate this on your registration.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss typical construction practices for mass timber projects, including safety best practices, installation efficiency, and coordination with follow-on trades.
• Highlight a variety of structural and architectural uses of CLT panels on hybrid projects through an in-person tour of an under-construction project, highlighting the biophilic benefits of exposed mass timber/sustainable benefits of wood framing for occupants and visitors.
• Demonstrate connection detailing techniques used in code-compliant mass timber-hybrid buildings to ensure appropriate structural capacity, fire resistance, and consideration of the project construction type.
• Explain the diverse methods of project development and approaches used by the design team, including owners, contractors, architects, and engineers, to achieve a successful mass timber project.
