Emerging mass timber technology is changing the construction industry with multiple advantages such as reducing embodied carbon and compressing construction schedules. There is also a growing body of research proving biophilic indoor environments can improve learning outcomes and enhance student performance. Finding a way to optimize mass timber technology will afford a cost-competitive biophilic approach to design and build better schools.

Join Mithun partner Craig Curtis for “Utilizing Mass Timber to Revolutionize the K-12 Market Sector” to learn how the physical properties of typical K-12 school construction fits perfectly with the characteristics of mass timber construction. Applying knowledge from Mithun’s Building Better Schools R+D study, this presentation will examine domestic and international case studies to demonstrate the myriad advantages of mass timber construction for school districts, staff and students.
