AGENDA FROM THE MAY 12 VIRTUAL EVENT: PANELS & TOURS

Keynote Presentation: Rise — ‘We Need a Bigger Solution’

Climate Change. Affordable Housing. Social Equity. A Global Pandemic. AI. We are living through extraordinarily challenging times and facing societal shifts worthy of the description ‘existential’. In the context of these dynamics, the proving grounds of mass timber, modular construction and their associate technologies are rich in both risk and reward. Where some see a crisis, others will always see an opportunity to rise and lead forwards — for necessary disruption, new approaches, fresh voices and under-served perspectives. To navigate these waters we need to draw on the inspiration, wisdom, insight and grit of those most comfortable engaging in that disruptive space. Join us for a powerful presentation with this extraordinary group of panelists well versed in being ‘first through the wall’ and thriving in that space.

CREE Buildings Virtual Tour: Siemens Campus Erlangen in Germany

Sponsored by CREE Buildings

Always wanted to visit a CREE building but never had the chance? Join us virtually as we experience the largest building project currently underway in Germany: the Siemens Campus Erlangen.

This is an ambitious project in every respect — when finished it will cover an area equivalent to an incredible 75 soccer fields. What makes it truly remarkable is that the new central reception building and four office buildings (with a total area of around 860,000 sq. ft 80,000 m2) are being built using CREE Buildings’ prefabricated, regenerative timber-hybrid system, with the whole project supported by model-based work processes (BIM — Building Information Modelling). Thanks to innovative prefabrication processes, the CREE system significantly shortens the time needed to erect the main structure, while simultaneously reducing the dust, noise, and waste generated on site compared to conventional concrete construction projects.

These new campus buildings will serve as a testament to Siemens’ ecologically responsible mindset, as well as showcasing the possibility of saving time and resources through smarter building practices.

Michael Kamenik, lead architect and global partner coordinator at CREE Buildings, will be your tour guide. He will show you the attractive campus setting with its state-of-the-art office infrastructure and buildings, punctuated with valuable technical insights. Accompanied by two experts, you will gain insights into the challenges and lessons learned during planning and construction. You’ll also get insights into the prefabrication and assembly process, as well as the main idea and decisions behind this exceptional project.

Idaho Central Credit Union Arena: A Grand Mass Timber Structure in Moscow, Idaho

The 4,000 seat multi-use Idaho Central Credit Union Arena in Moscow, Idaho, is a unique curvilinear design based on the Palouse landscape forms that surround it and brought to life through extensive daylighting. The project utilizes timber from Idaho forests for a range of systems including gluLam, DLT, and CLT. Participants will follow the key design concepts of the mass timber collaborative design process from architect’s sketch, through engineer’s analysis, to built construction. As an iterative process, the presenters will discuss the give and take that led to a better, more efficient and elegant design solution. Areas of discussion will include complex form geometries, long-span mass timber truss and frame design, mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination, and refined connection detailing. An open Q&A will allow participants to engage on these subjects.

Skanska Virtual Tour: Portland Airport Roof

Sponsored by Skanska

Please join us for an exciting multi-media tour of the massive new roof structure at the Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon, USA. This virtual visit to a once-in-a-career project will give you an in-depth look at the planning, logistics, and craftsmanship that are going into the over 2 million board foot mass timber and steel roof over the expanded terminal. Since the roof is being fully prefabricated on the ground (membrane, skylights, etc) prior to moving it into place, this tour will be a unique opportunity to see the near final product close up. The tour will also share progress photos and behind the scenes details of the more than four years of planning that have prepared the team for the big move later this summer. The tour will culminate in sequence showing the plan for moving these massive sections across the runways and into place above a fully operational airport.

Industrialized Wood Housing in Northern Europe

This panel discussion asks questions about the growth of industrialized hybrid wood systems in the UK and Sweden — drivers, barriers and opportunities. Join international experts making multi-unit offsite construction and mass timber and volumetric modular housing a reality everyday, and how the US can foster an industrialized wood construction culture.
