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

SUMMARY:Palo Alto Mass Timber Elementary School Campus Replacement Tour
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Tour (Palo Alto\, CA)\nThis course provides an in-depth look at the design and construction of a new all–mass timber school campus in Palo Alto. The full campus replacement project demonstrates how prefabricated mass timber systems can be used to achieve speed of construction\, sustainability goals\, and high-quality learning environments in a public-school setting. \nParticipants will tour the recently completed project and learn about the project’s approach to prefabrication\, detailing\, and construction sequencing. The new campus consists of four buildings—a kindergarten classroom\, library and administration building\, two-story classroom building\, and a multipurpose space—all constructed using cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor and wall panels integrated with light-frame wood interior walls. \nThrough on-site discussion with members of the design and construction team\, attendees will gain insight into how mass timber detailing\, fabrication methods\, and structural systems contribute to overall project efficiency and performance. \nThe tour will be followed by networking and refreshments. \nCredits: Attendees can earn 1.5 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 1.5 PDH credits or 0.15 ICC credits \n  \nHost: \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.
