SUMMARY:Mass Timber in Education: UW Founders Hall Tour and Design Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar + Tour (Seattle\, WA)\nClassrooms to Cafeterias:  Mass Timber Design in Modern Schools  \nThis course explores the growing use of mass timber in K-12 school design\, with a focus on the key drivers influencing its adoption—speed of construction\, sustainability\, cost-efficiency\, and code compliance. Attendees will gain insight into the national school construction market\, understand how IBC provisions support the use of mass timber in Types III\, IV\, and V construction\, and compare costs and building configurations across material systems.​ \nAdditional topics include fire performance and code allowances\, acoustic and durability considerations\, structural design strategies for long spans in gymnasiums and cafeterias\, and practical tips for space planning and integration. The session concludes with case studies that illustrate how mass timber is being successfully implemented in school projects across the country.​ \nTour of Founders Hall at University of Washington \nThis unique educational event will provide an in-depth look at Founders Hall at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business\, constructed in 2022. Designers of the five-story\, 84\,800-square-foot building used a hybrid structure:  Type IV-HT construction for the mass timber portion—a glue-laminated timber (glulam) post and beam frame with cross-laminated timber (CLT) decking—and Type I-B for the large assembly spaces\, built with concrete and steel. Attendees will tour the site with members of the project team\, who will share strategies for successful\, code-compliant mass timber projects\, including insights into the design\, detailing\, and construction techniques used throughout the building. The tour format encourages questions and discussion\, and attendees can expect to learn about the project’s design\, execution\, and factors that influenced material and detail selection. \n  \nAgenda: \nSeminar: 11:00 am – 12:00pm \nLunch and Tour: 12:00pm – 1:00pm \nAllow 30 minutes for parking\, walking to Founders Hall \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.20 ICC credits \n  \nSpeaker: \nMichael Muller\, PE\, SE | WoodWorks \nMichael is a licensed engineer in California and Washington with more than a decade of experience working as a structural engineering consultant based in the Pacific Northwest. Over his career\, Michael has successfully managed many acclaimed projects in the residential\, retail\, hospitality\, and office market sectors. He brings a keen eye for efficiency in materials and construction and experience working internationally in parts of the world known for uniquely challenging seismic and other weather or nature-related extremes. Michael is committed to helping create a future world that fosters sustainable solutions. \n  \nLocation: \nUniversity of Washington\, Founders Hall\n4215 E.

SUMMARY:Designing and Building with Mass Timber: Design\, Planning and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar + Lunch (Garden City\, NY)\nHow can architects\, engineers and contractors collaborate to meet the growing demand for mass timber buildings? While developers across the country are pursuing mass timber projects\, knowledge among AEC professionals is not yet widespread. Firms have varying degrees of familiarity with both the products and practicalities of designing\, sourcing\, and building a modern mass timber structure\, and early adopters continue to play a significant role in educating the rest of the community. This presentation seeks to build on this openness and environment of shared learning\, providing an overview of mass timber products\, planning\, design and implementation to maximize the benefits these buildings can deliver. \nWe’ll also discuss why some mass timber projects face resistance\, and how to overcome misconceptions to achieve success. Topics will also include preconstruction coordination and interactions between the manufacturer and design/construction teams\, case-based approaches to costing and scheduling\, project delivery methods\, how to achieve the highest level of efficiency for costs\, schedule\, and performance\, and additional education and training opportunities. \n  \nCredit: Attendees can earn 1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.10 ICC credit \n  \nSpeaker: \n \n  \nMomo Sun\, PE\, P.Eng.\, Regional Director | WoodWorks \nMomo is passionate about building sustainable structures and enjoys helping developers and design teams find elegant wood solutions that are also cost-effective. A licensed Professional Engineer in New York and Ontario\, she received her M.Eng. in Civil Engineering from MIT and a BASc from the University of Toronto. She has experience working in both the U.S. and Canada\, and\, prior to WoodWorks\, was a project manager and structural engineer for commercial\, healthcare\, and institutional projects. Momo is based in Brooklyn\, New York\, where she also volunteers with high school students to foster their interest in engineering. \n  \nLocation: \nThe Garden City Hotel – Societe Suite\n45 Seventh Street\nGarden City\, NY 11530 \nMap & Directions \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify project planning\, coordination and design topics that translate into successful buildings for both the design and construction team.\nExplore best practices for interaction between manufacturer\, design team and preconstruction manager that can lead to cost efficiency and safety on site.\nDiscuss potential construction schedule savings and construction fire safety practices realized through the use of prefabricated mass timber elements.\nDiscuss benefits of using mass timber products\, including structural versatility\, prefabrication\, lighter carbon footprint\, and reduced labor costs\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nLeeAnn Charpentier\, CMP | leeann.charpentier@woodworks.org | (301) 633-0330 \n  \nImage: Amy Gutmann Hall\, Data Science & AI Building\, Lake Flato Architects\, KSS Architects\, Buro Happold\, Photo Jeffrey Totaro
