ZIP-O-LAMINATORS LLC offering 35m custom #glulam beams.

We've seen the installation of #clt lift cores and now Gruner Holzbau shares the installation of a modular stairwell that also forms part of the bracing for earthquakes. English translation below: 🏗️🛠️ After Sichelweg I, construction was now also carried out on Sichelweg IV. The Stamm Bau AG was able to show quite successfully that the timber builds can score points with a high level of prefabrication. The stair towers, which protrude over three storeys and also function as earthquake discs, were completely prefabricated in the factory and thus only had to be parked on site and connected to the intended support points. This keeps the time on the construction site as short and efficient as possible. The smooth process is preceded by a thorough and practice-oriented Thank you very much for the good cooperation! 🤝🏻 ____ ✅🔔 If you appreciate our posts, please follow, like, or share for more and scroll hundreds of quality posts on mass timber projects.

𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝗙𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻 Completed in 2022 | 4215 East Stevens Way Northeast, Seattle, USA LMN Architects was proud to celebrate the completion of Founders Hall at the University of Washington Foster School of Business. Kate Westbrook, Principal, LMN Architects, comments: “With the foundation of our design rooted in a mass timber structure, we leveraged both the inherent beauty and sustainability of wood. The use of mass timber lowers the project’s embodied carbon substantially while we celebrate the Douglas fir to create a warm and inviting atmosphere on the interior." The University of Washington has a long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship, with initiatives that extend beyond the enhancement of the environment to also include how it manages facilities and resources. Aureus Earth, the world’s leading provider of #carbonoffsetting incentive programs for the construction industry, announced in September its first transaction that values the long-term biogenic carbon storage in a mass timber building. The transaction was accomplished in partnership with the UW Foster School of Business, using the newly completed Founders Hall mass timber building as a proof of concept. The building will store more than 1,000 tons of CO2 for decades, keeping carbon out of the atmosphere for the lifetime of the building. Founders Hall is the first fully mass timber building on campus and is the first new building to meet the University of Washington Green Building Standards; reducing carbon emissions by over 90%. As an integrated element in both the interior and exterior expression, the building incorporates a mass timber structure with cross-laminated timber decking, reflecting the Foster School's connection to the northwest and the local wood products industry and reducing the building’s embodied carbon by almost 60%. The team ensured that many of the already-existing nearby Douglas fir and sequoia trees would not only be preserved but integrated into the architectural expression of the building. The peeled-away brick façade paired with carefully placed glazing exposes the timber inside the building while providing views of the historical Douglas firs, giving the higher floors of the building an immersive experience with the northwest forest character of the site.
