Mercer International Middle School Tour: A Firsthand Look at Mass Timber

This unique educational event will provide an in-depth look at Asa Mercer International Middle School, a Type III-B mass timber school recently completed in Seattle, WA. Designers of the multi-story, 174,000 sqft project utilized CLT and glulam post-and-beam framing to create a sustainable learning environment that serves 1,000 students in grades 6-8. Attendees will tour the site with project team members, who will share strategies for successful and code-compliant mass timber projects, including insight into 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.
