WoodWorks

In a little over a week we start building at the 9th annual conference, March 25–27. And it's not just the construction before the event begins. One of the things we can't wait for... the WoodWorks Mass Timber Live Build in booth #976. WoodWorks brings LIVE mass timber construction to the show floor — building and disassembly — on the Wednesday and Thursday of the event, where you can watch, ask questions, and get resources from staff. And potentially even gain free help for your next mass timber project. In addition, an artist from Ink Factory Studio will bring visual storytelling to the live build with a large-scale illustration in real-time depicting mass timber construction, with input from attendees.

Students and alumni played a key role in shaping the design of the new Hayu alqi uyxat building in Portland, Oregon, which creates a permanent home for Portland Public Schools' Multiple Pathways to Graduation program. The Type III-V project features three stories of above-grade mass timber construction (with glulam columns, beams, and girders) and one below-grade level made of concrete. An acoustic metal deck above its concreate floor to provide sound insulation.

A new WoodWorks resource is now available – Construction Quality Assurance on Mass Timber Projects: Inspection and Observation—Considerations for project teams developing inspection and observation plans. This paper explores inspection considerations for mass timber projects, including special inspections and structural observations, and how to effectively communicate the requirements and review the results. It is intended to provide a basis for conversation that helps teams comply with the building code and develop Construction Documents (CDs) specific to the project by finetuning their approaches to construction quality assurance.

The RAD Center at University of Houston is being transformed into a modern, two-story facility designed to enhance the campus social experience for students and staff. A mass timber structural system and vertical façade rhythms blend the design seamlessly with surrounding woodlands. A key advantage? Efficient, non-disruptive construction. The second phase was completed with minimal impact on campus life, and the final stage will follow suit.
