Mass Timber Market Updates - July 2021 - Week Twentysix

Happy Fourth of July to all our United States listeners. In the podcast this week. Sweden's largest wooden parking garage. Will there be room for just over 600 cars (18,000m2). The parking garage has high sustainability ambitions and a role model for future projects. As part of westbank’s sweeping campus transformation of san jose, james k.m. cheng architects unveils its‘orchard’ residences. Together with the residential project, the ‘orchard’ will span two distinct buildings including an accompanying workspace designed by WRNS studio. The new Potter Building will also be the first education building constructed using a CLT floor structure, in Queensland.  The Boronia Road using XLam CLT panel installation was undertaken in 22 hours over 3 days. Using CLTP's products, Cusp will operate essentially as the marketing branch of the organisation. To kick things off, they're highlighting their "world-first" hardwood Cross Laminated Timber for the structural timber market. Cusp CEO Chris Skeels-Piggins described the move as an "innovation" for the timber industry. The Softwood Lumber Board (SLB) recently published its 2021 Q1 Report, which recaps the SLB’s progress in growing incremental demand for the softwood lumber industry and demonstrates how the SLB and its funded programs—the American Wood Council (AWC), Think Wood, and WoodWorks—are aggressively working to communicate and to amplify wood’s environmental benefits with science and verified research. On behalf of Paul Kremer and the entire team at the Mass Timber Construction Journal we would like to thank all of our followers on this amazing achievement. Keep subscribing, listening and reading. We love bringing all the mass timber construction news to you!
