Initiatives
Michigan Mass Timber Resource Guide
Supported in part by funding from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, MassTimber@MSU created the Michigan Mass Timber Resource Guide, a new online hub supporting the growing mass timber movement. The guide provides architects, engineers, developers, manufacturers, policymakers, and enthusiasts with a central platform for essential mass timber resources and information.
Michigan Mass Timber Catalyst Program
The Michigan Mass Timber Catalyst Program provides financial and technical support to project teams engaged in the early planning and design phases of new building construction projects that use mass timber as a primary structural or architectural material.
Great Lakes Mass Timber Collaborative
The Great Lakes Mass Timber Collaborative, founded in 2024 by MassTimber@MSU, in coordination with leads from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, seeks to envision and realize a regionally specific and coordinated mass timber economy across these eight states.
TALL TIMBER: The Future of Cities in Wood
This traveling exhibit, brought to downtown Detroit, introduced mass timber to the general public, leaders, and decision-makers – and deepened engagement by practitioners through architectural models, material samples, videos, drawings, and photography that present some of the most interesting, innovative, and beautiful examples of buildings conceived in this new system of design and construction. The exhibition featured designs for mixed-use office buildings, social housing, and apartments, as well as models of theoretical projects for Mass Timber towers of 30 to 80 stories.
