14 Ronald McDonald House Vancouver, BC MGA (Michael Green Architects)

15 Ronald McDonald House 4 Stories 75,000sf 73 family units with: Common spaces, kitchen + dining areas, fitness facilities, library resources, office areas, educational space and outdoor play areas LEED Gold

16 Ronald McDonald House CLT tilt up construction

17 Ronald McDonald House CLT Bearing Walls Wood I-joists supporting plywood decking Laminated strand lumber (LSL) floor ledgers 2 Concrete floor topping with radiant heat

18 Brock Commons University of British Columbia Acton Ostry Architects Fast + Epp Engineering

19 Brock Commons Tallest wood frame building in the world 18 Stories four-bed suits 272 studio units 404 students total LEED Gold Opens September

20 Brock Commons Platform - Hybrid Concrete and Mass Timber Construction CLT floor slabs, glulam columns, steel connectors, and concrete cores

21 Brock Commons Given special exemption from the building code Cores initially planned as wood but were changed to achieve code exemption Typical floors have 3 layers of sheetrock Upper floor commons is left exposed

22 In the United States T3, Minneapolis, MN Framework, Portland, OR

23 T3 Minneapolis, MN Michael Green Architecture Current Tallest in the U.S. 7 Story, 220,000 sf Retail and Office Building NLT (Nail Laminated Timber) Exposed Mass Timber Columns and Floor Slabs

24 Framework Portland, OR LEVER Architecture 2 Commercial Spaces with Residential Above Will be Tallest in the U.S. 12 story, all exposed GLT and CLT Passed Several Fire Rating Tests in 2016 (See next slide)

25 Framework Rating Tests Passed Beam-exterior column connection test, CLT deck to beam test, penetrations fire resistance rating test, and wall fire resistance rating test (conducted July to November at a facility in Texas); CLT wall panel tests for the panels basic in-plane structural stiffness properties, including regular CLT wall panel tests and CLT wall panel tests with cruciform connector splice tests, with epoxied rod splice tests, and with HSK system splice tests (conducted September to November at Oregon State University); CLT crushing tests to determine the project s structural properties when exposed to stress and strain, including regular CLT wall panel tests and CLT wall panel tests with reinforcing screws tests and with steel guard plate tests (conducted September to November at Oregon State University); Floor assembly acoustic tests to gauge the acoustic performance of the project s floor assembly, including a sound transmission test and impact transmission test (conducted in October by Intertek); and A glulam beam-column connection test to determine how well the connection performs under load and imposed seismic drifts (conducted October to November at Portland State University).

37 Student Lessons Learned Students want to make a difference in the environment! They would like to design buildings that reduce the carbon footprint of construction and operation. But The United States has ground to make up in the implementation and spread of mass timber design and construction compared to Europe and Canada Due to the lack of nearby standing examples to visit and study, our 2015 building code, and the strong traditions of design and construction practice, it is currently easier for students to use known structural systems in design steel and concrete - rather than advance the conversation on mass timber. How can we as an industry make it easier for students and professionals to find information? How can we sponsor innovation?

38 Michigan Mass Timber Opportunities and Challenges Opportunities Forests we are surrounded by abundant resources Stewardship a Michigan value that respects our resources and provides impetus in the drive for a sustainable future. Industrial base we know how to make things Research capacity and interest Design heritage from Cranbrook to the automobile industry to furniture design and manufacture. Challenges Momentum and the lack of standing examples Hardwood focus of Michigan forest economy For CLT, the lack of nearby and regional manufacturing capacity The 2015 IBC and Michigan s code adoption process Education of all sectors of project delivery from finance through design and construction But.

39 There are pioneers disruptors who point the way In Michigan: The new Michigan State University STEM Teaching and Learning Building Mass timber construction 112,000 square feet $100 million budget

40 Lakefront Pavilion, Chicago Illinois Yasmin Vobis & Aaron Forrest, Architcts, 2015 there are also inspirations
