This session will explore construction type selection, critical early design decisions, and the use of mass timber in 4- to 12-story residential and mixed-use projects—including hybrid systems that combine mass timber with light-frame wood construction to address the “missing middle” in housing. Participants will review key code considerations, including construction types, allowable heights and areas, and fire-resistance requirements, with a focus on strategies for exposed timber.Tour MSU’s Mass Timber STEM Teaching and Learning Facility (1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.10 ICC credit)Following the presentation, attendees can tour MSU’s 121,000 square-foot STEM Building, which pioneered the first significant use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in the state. The project features three stories of glulam post-and-beam construction with steel diagonal bracing, CLT floor and roof decks, and CLT walls in egress stairs. The tour format encourages questions and discussion, and attendees will learn about the project’s design, execution, and various detailing and construction techniques utilized throughout the building.Join us after the tour for a networking happy hour at Dublin Square from 4:30 – 6:00pm.Schedule:12:30 pm – Registration Opens | Lunch provided for attendees1:00 – 3:00 – Presentation3:00 – 4:00 – Tour4:30 – 6:00- Happy HourProduced in collaboration with MassTimber@MSU. Speaker: Anthony Harvey, PE, WoodWorks Credits: 3.0 (3.0 HSW) – Attendees can Earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LU, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.20 ICC credits for the seminar + 1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.10 ICC credit for the tour. Location:Michigan State University (STEM Building)642 Red Cedar RdEast Lansing, MI 48824STEM Room 1202Event Parking:Parking: Lot 79 – the Spartan Stadium lot – located directly west of the STEM building.
