The TallWood Design Institute is excited to announce the seventh annual Mass Timber Research and Design Symposium at Oregon State University!
This symposium offers a unique platform for architecture, wood science, and engineering faculty from the University of Oregon (UO) and Oregon State University (OSU) to showcase important mass timber research and public initiatives. Attendees will also get an exclusive preview of our MPP House Prototype.
Join us to explore over twenty mass timber research projects in dynamic, concise sessions. Major symposium themes include:
- Fire & Moisture Performance
- Manufacturing & Supply Chains
- Design, Sustainability, Building Performance, & Human Health
- Structural & Seismic
Our initiatives aim to foster critical partnerships across various sectors to tackle pressing societal challenges such as mega-fires, sustainable forestry and construction practices, local economic development, and affordable housing.
