Mass Timber Webinar Series – Leading with Lumber: The DNR’s Mass Timber Center and Michigan Red Pine’s Role
This webinar series, co-produced by MiGBC + MassTimber@MSU, will showcase four key projects across Michigan. We’ll explore the origins of each project, their successes and challenges, and how the project teams have continued to advance mass timber initiatives. Each building is unique in its approach and material usage. The series will cover four distinct building types: higher education, K-12, state-owned facilities, and condominiums. This series will be moderated by Sandra Lupien, Director, MassTimber@MSU.
The third webinar in our new mass timber series is on June 26. This time, we’ll focus on the construction of Newberry’s new Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) customer service center. This multi-million dollar project is the first to utilize Michigan-sourced red pine in cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels for its entire structure.
