SUMMARY:Building Bigger with Light-Frame: Heights\, Areas and Critical Details
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (CA-North\, NV\, UT)\n\n\nGetting the most out of light-frame wood construction requires thoughtful code decisions at both the building and detail scale. This presentation will explore opportunities to maximize the size and density of light-frame wood buildings\, with a focus on Type III and Type V construction and underutilized code provisions that can allow these construction types to go taller. Topics will include allowable building height and area\, sprinklers\, frontage\, podiums\, and other strategies for maximizing what can be achieved with light-frame wood construction. From there\, the discussion will shift to common design and permitting challenges\, with a focus on interior and exterior wall assemblies.

SUMMARY:Building Taller: Reaching Six Stories with Light-Frame Wood
DESCRIPTION:Building Taller: Reaching Six Stories with Light-Frame Wood \nSix-story light-frame wood construction can provide opportunities to increase density in mid-rise buildings\, but maximizing building height while meeting code\, structural\, fire-resistance\, and constructability requirements requires careful coordination across the project team. This presentation will examine the design and construction of six-story light-frame wood buildings\, including building code considerations and structural strategies that make taller light-frame construction possible. Through project examples\, attendees will explore approaches to framing\, prefabrication\, integration of mass timber and light-frame systems\, and coordination of building services. The presentation will also highlight lessons learned through design and construction and how collaboration among architects\, engineers\, contractors\, and fabricators can improve constructability and building performance. \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.10 ICC credit \n  \n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\nJoseph Mayo\, AIA\, LEED AP | Associate Principal\, Mahlum Architects Inc. \nJoe Mayo is a Seattle architect at Mahlum and author of Solid Wood: Mass Timber Architecture\, Technology and Design\, the first English-language book focused exclusively on institutional mass timber buildings. A leader in low-carbon\, biophilic design\, he has contributed to more than a dozen mass timber projects and helped advance mass timber through code development and federally funded research. Over nearly two decades of practice\, Joe has designed a wide range of academic and multi–family housing projects utilizing light wood framing\, demonstrating how wood construction can deliver cost-effective\, durable\, and low-carbon solutions for housing\, education\, and community infrastructure. His work explores how both mass timber and light wood framing can expand the use of wood as a high-performance\, sustainable building material in the built environment. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCamie Mamer\, P.E.\, DBIA  | Structural Project Manager\, Coughlin Porter Lundeen \nWith 10 years at Coughlin Porter Lundeen\, Camie serves as a Structural Project Manager\, leading structural engineering efforts across a diverse portfolio of design-build and higher education projects.

SUMMARY:Mass Timber in Action: Tour Two Ann Arbor School Projects
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Tour (Ann Arbor\, MI)\n\n\nSee how mass timber is shaping the next generation of educational facilities. Join WoodWorks and project team members for guided tours of two Ann Arbor school projects featuring innovative wood structural systems. Explore practical approaches to design\, detailing\, construction\, and code compliance while earning continuing education credits. \nMitchell School: Get a firsthand look at mass timber construction at the new Mitchell School in Ann Arbor\, MI. This two-story\, 92\,140-square-foot facility combines steel and prefabricated cross-laminated timber (CLT) in a hybrid structural system designed for efficient erection while the adjacent school remains operational. \nLogan Elementary School: Explore the use of mass timber in high-performance school design with a guided tour of Logan Elementary School in Ann Arbor\, MI. This two-story\, 91\,000-square-foot facility incorporates cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glue-laminated timber (glulam)\, with a focus on sustainability and occupant well-being. \nThe projects are currently under construction\, and PPE will be provided by Woodworks. Tours will be followed by a complimentary networking happy hour from 4:30pm – 6:30pm. \nSchedule for Tours: \n\nTour Departure – 1:30 pm\n\nAttendees will meet and board the WoodWorks – provided bus in downtown Ann Arbor on South Fifth Avenue between Liberty and Williams Streets.\nParking and Transportation to Tours: Due to limited parking at the project locations\, attendees must use the provided bus for transportation and cannot drive directly to or meet the group at the project sites.\n\nLibrary Lane Parking Garage 319 S 5th Ave (convenient to bus pickup location).\nFourth & Washington Parking Garage 123 E Washington Street.\nMetered street parking\nParking app https://eparka2.com/\nParking rates vary by location. Please check posted rates and restrictions before parking.\n\n\n\n\nTour Return – 4:30 pm\n\nThe bus will return attendees to the original pickup location at South Fifth Avenue.\n\n\nNetworking & Complimentary Happy Hour: 4:30 – 6:30 pm\n\nFrom there\, The Pretzel Bell\, our networking/happy hour location\, is approximately a two-block walk down Liberty Street to the entrance.\n\n\n\nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.20 ICC credits pending AIA approval. \n  \nHosted by WoodWorks – Anthony Harvey\, PE and is supported in part by MassTimber@MSU\, a program at Michigan State University that leverages research\, education\, outreach\, communications\, policy\, and partnerships to advance sustainable mass timber construction and manufacture in Michigan and the surrounding region.

SUMMARY:Classrooms to Cafeterias:  Mass Timber Design in Modern Schools
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (CA-North\, NV\, UT)\n\n\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.​ \n  \nSpeaker: \n \nChelsea Drenick\, SE | WoodWorks \nChelsea is a licensed structural engineer in the state of California. She received her BS in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College and MS in Civil Engineering from Stanford University. Chelsea spent nine years in structural design consulting prior to joining WoodWorks. Her experience is in a variety of sectors including residential\, higher education and retrofit of existing and historic structures. She is passionate about sustainability and the use of wood as a building material to reduce the embodied carbon emissions of structures. \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.1 ICC credit \n  \nOnline Attendees: \n\nWoodWorks will send each attendee a certificate of completion within 2 weeks via email.\nPlease note that to receive a certificate\, attendees must stay for the duration of the event.\n\n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how current IBC code provisions allow for mass timber use in K-12 schools\, including allowable building heights\, areas\, and stories for Types III\, IV\, and V construction.​\nIdentify key market drivers—such as speed of construction\, sustainability\, and aesthetics—that make mass timber an appealing choice for school design.​\nompare mass timber to steel and concrete systems in terms of cost\, construction schedule\, and performance\, using real-world case studies and structural strategies.\nApply best practices for acoustics\, durability\, fire resistance\, and long-span structural solutions to meet the unique needs of K-12 learning environments. ​\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nImage: Mercer Middle School\, Bassetti Architects\, A Design Studio of HMC Architects\, Coughlin Porter Lundeen\, Photo Aranisse Smith-Njigba
