On the Agenda: WoodWorks at the 2022 Mass Timber Conference
Mar 21, 2022
WoodWorks
The 2022 International Mass Timber Conference (MTC) will be one of the largest gatherings of mass timber experts in the world, attracting professionals from across the forest, manufacturing, design, development, and construction industries. Attendees can explore cross-laminated timber (CLT), nail-laminated timber, glulam, mass plywood panels, dowel-laminated timber, and laminated veneer lumber, and the opportunities and obstacles in global manufacturing and construction.
As we count down the days to the conference, we’re sharing what to look forward to from the WoodWorks team, co-producers of the event with the Forest Business Network.
Behind the Scenes on the New Adidas North American HQ
Adidas’ new North American Headquarters was just awarded our Jury’s Choice 2022 Wood Design Award and is featured in a newly published WoodWorks case study. MTC attendees have the chance to tour the 213,000-square-foot project and see up close how mass timber connects the company to its Pacific Northwest identity.
Learn about the project in the weeks leading up to the MTC tour. Download the Adidas HQ case study below.
