This unique educational event will provide an in-depth look at Asa Mercer International Middle School, a type III-B mass timber school under construction in Seattle, WA. Designers of the multi-story, 174,000 sf project utilized CLT and glulam post-and-beam framing to create a sustainable learning environment that will serve 1,000 students in grades 6-8 upon completion. Attendees will tour the site with project team members, who will share strategies for successful and code-compliant mass timber projects, including insight into design, detailing, and construction techniques utilized throughout the building.
