A series of free webinars in April, May and June will explore key aspects of building with mass timber, from meeting codes to the challenges of using hardwoods when making mass timber.
Mass timber construction allows for building large and tall structures using engineered wood. Mass timber construction often goes up faster than traditional construction and uses renewable materials.
The series is an outgrowth of Michigan’s recent Mass Timber Summit, a virtual meeting that took place last fall and was co-hosted by the Michigan Forest Biomaterials Institute and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. All of the webinars are hosted by MIFBI.
“We wanted to continue sharing information and extend the success of the summit,” said Brian Craig, chair of MIFBI’s board.
The webinars include:
The webinars are free, but each is limited to 100 guests and registration is required. A list of upcoming webinars and recordings of past events are available on the MIFBI website.
