The Jen-Hsun Huang and Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex at Oregon State University broke ground recently, with university leaders, supporters, friends, and project team members in attendance. This project is another ambitious pursuit by OSU to support innovation, entrepreneurship, and partnerships with industry, while helping to prepare graduates for Oregon’s workforce and beyond. The complex will harness one of the nation’s most powerful supercomputers. The Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex will be the first mass timber laboratory building in the U.S. The Mass Timber primary structure beams and columns are manufactured locally by Freres Engineered Wood using raw materials sourced from nearby OSU research forests. The exterior includes electrochromic glass construction as part of the university’s goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2025. The facility will also employ a variety of heating, cooling, ventilation, and energy initiatives that will reduce the overall energy consumption of the building—lending itself to an optimized learning environment. Andersen Construction is ecstatic to be part of this project and contribute to the growing educational excellence pursued by OSU. #weseekcontinuousimprovement
