Great Lakes Mass Timber Collaborative

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.
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.
