ULI presents:

Mass Timber and the Future of Development

Thursday, June 14 from 4:00pm-6:30pm

McCrory Construction
522 Lady Street
Columbia, SC 29201

Please join ULI for a conversation on Mass Timber. Mass Timber is increasingly being pursued as a cost-effective design solution. Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals will discuss the latest innovations in mass timber building design, including cross laminated timber (CLT). Topics to be discussed will include resourcing the timber material, structural design processes, strength considerations, and detailing for cost efficiency, sustainability, and constructability. Recent case studies and opportunities to implement CLT in the design process will also be discussed. Select mass timber projects will be highlighted to demonstrate successful applications using mass timber. After the presentation, please join us on McCrory Construction’s rooftop patio for light food and beverages. This event is AIA CE Credit eligible.
