Lecture Summary

Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood building system designed to complement light- and heavy-timber framing options. Because of its high strength and dimensional stability, it can be used as an alternative to concrete, masonry and steel in many building types. This presentation will introduce CLT with a series of project examples that demonstrate its use and associated benefits in a range of applications. Information on manufacturing, specification and code-related considerations will also be discussed.

This lecture is cosponsored with Eppstein Uhen Architects, the UWM Historic Preservation Institute, and the SARUP Intelligent Skins Studio.
