Advancing Mass Timber Technologies (OR, WA)

Advancing mass timber technologies (OR, WA) is focused on creating a thriving ecosystem in the Pacific Northwest that will drive and coordinate research and education innovations in mass timber architecture, engineering, and construction, along with manufacturing and forest management, to address social and environmental challenges in housing, workforce development, and natural resource stewardship. It will promote environmental resilience and US global competitiveness through the increased use of sustainable mass timber products and their applications in buildings, including affordable housing. The creation of this ecosystem will be co-produced with the communities intended to benefit from it, prioritizing the engagement of marginalized and historically disadvantaged communities to achieve sustainable, equitable, inclusive economic growth.
