3 COURSE DESCRIPTION 3 The availability of cross laminated timber (CLT) in the U.S. is causing some designers to rethink traditional construction practices and one progressive development company is helping to lead that charge. For the recently completed Candlewood Suites Hotel at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, Lend Lease explored the use of CLT for improved construction efficiency and performance. The four-story, 62,688-sf project utilized CLT for nearly all floor, roof and wall framing, making it the first mass timber hotel in the country. This presentation will review the economic, environmental and social benefits realized through the use of CLT on this project, and address CLT s viability as a market changing technology. Lessons learned during the design and construction processes will be discussed, as will some of the perceived hurdles and associated solutions related to using CLT as a whole building system.

4 LEARNING OBJECTIVES 4 1. Highlight construction schedule benefits realized on the Redstone Arsenal project through the use of CLT. 2. Explore reasons for selecting CLT as a building material, such as overcoming site and labor constraints. 3. Review detailing considerations for CLT as a building material, including constructability and acoustic performance. 4. Discuss lessons learned during the design and construction process for this initial CLT hotel, and review their applicability to future projects.

9 MARKET SECTOR STRATEGIES 9 The Sweet Spot CLT should be strongly considered when a project experiences 3 of these 4 conditions.

10 The CLT Optimal Spectrum MARKET SECTOR STRATEGIES 10 Residential / Hospitality 1-5 Stories Wood Stick Frame Metal Stud Frame Residential Office Hospitality 6-10 Stories CLT Residential / Office 10+ Concrete/Steel Cost Competitiveness* Optimal AHJ Code Acceptance *When all development, design and construction costs are aggregated, the schedule savings achieved through CLT with other speed and value added solutions can be cost competitive in 1-5 stories construction.
