MassTimber@MSU: Building mass timber momentum through outreach, research, education, and policy
Mass timber, a family of large, engineered wood construction materials, enables us to use wood - in ways we couldn’t before - to create large buildings more beautifully and often more efficiently, while reducing the carbon footprint of our built environments. This presentation will discuss how MassTimber@MSU - a collaboration across Michigan State University’s Department of Forestry; School of Planning, Design, and Construction; and Extension - is advancing sustainable mass timber construction and manufacture in Michigan, the Great Lakes Region, and beyond through collaborative outreach, research, education, and policy initiatives.
