Join Mithun partner Brendan Connolly and architect Ryan Rideout for “Using Mass Timber in Bush Middle School,” a WoodWorks Learning Lounge presentation on the design of Bush Middle School, a new three-story building in Seattle, WA. The selection of a mass timber structural system was key to meeting project goals related to indoor air quality, biophilic design and building performance. This presentation will detail key steps in the design process, with project team members sharing how they verify embodied carbon reductions and how collaboration across disciplines helped integrate sustainable design throughout the project. Discussion will also address design decisions made to prioritize student and faculty wellness, such as connection to the outdoors and exposed wood elements, while ensuring performance and code adherence.
DCI Engineers sustainability project manager Arizona Dabrusin will co-present this session.
