Mass Timber Webinar Series – Timber, Tech, and Talent: Crafting KRESA’s Educational Hub
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 second webinar in our new mass timber series is on May 1. This time, we’ll focus on the KRESA Career Connect Campus in Kalamazoo, covering some special features. For example, how community engagement made this a mass timber project, and whether mass timber can be used in a welding shop.
