🦅 Building MassTimber for DeafSpace 📝 Washington School for the Deaf, Divine Academic & Hunter Gymnasium 📰 Here's what we learned from the project team:   Built for the future needs of those with visual, tactile, and spatial needs.   👉🏼 Shauna Bilyeu, executive director, said: “This expansion means two brand new and much-needed spaces for improved learning and athletics in this unique student environment,” she said. She further elaborated on the tangible design outcomes, mentioning “wider-set hallways for active ASL (American Sign Language) communication and so much other care and concern for the needs of our unique community”.   👉🏼 Natural lighting was another key element, with extensive use of large windows – often with low-glare coatings to prevent eye strain.   👉🏼 The project utilized 131 cubic meters of glulam (a running length of 5770 feet) and 308 cubic meters of CLT (roughly 10,876 cubic feet).   👉🏼 The use of wood also pays homage to the school's history, connecting back to a demolished campus landmark, the Red Barn, which held deep community significance.   ♻️ The expanded CDHY campus isn't just about new buildings; it's about creating a holistic environment that fosters linguistic, cognitive, social, and emotional development while honoring Deaf culture. The new 35,000-square-foot Divine Academic Building includes innovative classrooms and a media center, while the 15,000-square-foot Hunter Gymnasium provides a purpose-designed space for physical education. A sensory-focused and accessible playground, a secure walkway connecting the buildings, and an improved parking area further enhance the campus. A new outdoor field is slated for completion in Spring 2025.   📰 Read the full article to see what the #AEC and mass timber teams had to say about their experience working on this magnificent project. . . . ❓ What project should we cover next? Let us know below! . . . We'll be releasing original #MassTimber spotlight articles every week!

Mass Timber Vision at the Base Ski Town USA® 🌏 Steamboat Springs, CO   Completed in 2023, Steamboat's Base Village was reimagined by Gensler & Martin/Martin.   "The Range’s mass timber structure fits the local architectural language and helped decrease the embodied carbon of the structure and expedited the construction schedule." - Gensler   🌲 Wood Design Specs: Hybrid #Glulam Post & Beam Timber-Frame   "Steamboat is the second-largest ski area in Colorado with 3,741 acres. Steamboat is also the largest ski area in the world that utilizes a single ski base to accommodate approximately 1.4 million skiers annually; an average of over 10,000 skiers daily." - pinion newswire   👷🏽 Project Partners: Gensler Martin/Martin, Inc.

❤️🔥 Rising from the Ashes 🍃 A #MassTimber Recovery Story 🌏 Morden, Manitoba, Canada   Seeing fire twice, this mass timber build is special to the community of Morden.   "This new clubhouse proves that a beautiful recovery can follow calamity.

🛡️ A Mass Ply Marvel 🌳 Redmond's #Sustainable Hub 🌏 Redmond, WA   "This massive 52,000-square-foot facility will replace the city’s former senior center and provide space for recreational events and activities for Redmond’s senior residents and local families. The new center will also showcase the community’s reverence for the surrounding landscape, encouraging visitors to make the most of the amenities indoors as well as outdoor features like grassy areas and trails along the picturesque Sammamish River." - Freres Wood   ✍ Design Specs: 2 Stories Completed in 2023 40,000 ft² (3,716 m²) Recreational Building   🏆 #Sustainability award: LEED innovation point from the U.S. Green Building Council   "Sustainable Northwest, Opsis, and Freres traced and verified the source of the lumber for the Mass Plywood Panels used in the Redmond Center, which is an advancement in traceability that opens the door to recognize and reward forest stewardship in all its forms, regardless of whether landowners take part in certification – including federal agencies practicing ecological forestry and Tribes whose stewardship often reflects unique Traditional Ecological Knowledge." - Sustainable Northwest   👷🏽 Project Partners: PAE Absher Herrera Inc.

🏢 Mass Timber Student Gathering Place 🍽️ Student Center & Dining Commons 🌏 Amherst College, Massachusetts   🦺 Under construction until 2026, this is a signature space on campus essential to supporting and sustaining a vibrant student experience in ways that go beyond the classroom.   "Designed by the architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron with the intention of creating a structure that quietly and effectively brings out the best in its surroundings, the new building will feature spectacular views of the Holyoke Range and the area’s distinctive topography. It will exemplify sustainable, environmentally-responsive architecture, designed to affirm the connection between the built environment and the natural world, which is integral to the Amherst experience." - Amherst College   ✅ Reflecting Amherst College's commitment to sustainability, the project repurposes the concrete structure of the former Merrill Science Center and incorporates mass-timber construction, reducing material waste and preserving embodied carbon.   ✅ The topping-out ceremony involved the signing of a final timber panel, which was then lifted and installed as the last beam.   "Reflecting Amherst College’s commitment to sustainability, the project repurposes the concrete structure of the former Merrill Science Center and incorporates mass-timber construction. This approach reduces material waste and preserves embodied carbon, which aligns with the college’s climate action plan." - Herzog & de Meuron . . . . . #MassTimber #MassTimberConstruction #Construction
