About this Event
Regional In-Person Seminar (Seattle, WA)
Can mass timber make financial sense for mid-rise multi-family construction? What new opportunities does the 2021 International Building Code create for mass timber housing in the 6 to 18-story range? While mass timber is often associated with one-off projects that celebrate innovation over repeatability, options for multi-family buildings that provide a strong return on investment have never been greater—if a designer understands how to leverage the benefits of these materials in the context of the new mass timber construction types. This presentation will review decisions that are key to the viability of mass timber multi-family projects, including construction type selection, grid layout, approach to achieving fire-resistance ratings, lateral system selection, and acoustics.
