Regional In-Person Tour (Kalamazoo, MI)

Join WoodWorks and Michigan State University (MSU) for a workshop and tour of two unique projects showcasing innovative mass timber, light-frame, and hybrid wood construction.

The event will begin with a workshop featuring a panel presentation from team members on the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency School (KRESA) Career Connect Campus. Panelists will discuss the design process, including how they balanced sustainability goals, structural requirements, and the client’s vision for the project. After the presentation, attendees will tour two projects, led by design team members and suppliers on each:

A bus will transport tour participants from KRESA to the WMU Student Housing Project. The WMU project is an active construction site and PPE will be provided. Attendees will return to KRESA for departure.

 

A networking event will be held following the tour at Bell’s Eccentric Café from 5-6:30 pm. Complimentary food and beverages will be provided.
