Rice University’s First Mass Timber Building Gives Student Housing the Warmth of Wood
With the help of funding from the USDA Forest Service’s Mass Timber University Grant Program, the Houston-based private college supplies more than 165 students with light-filled, timber-exposed residences designed by Berlin-based design firm Barkow Leibinger.
Stay ahead of the year’s continuing education requirements by exploring these nine on-demand webinars and discussions that explore how wood structural systems can help realize contemporary, sustainable commercial projects.

Reno’s First Large-Scale Light-Frame and Mass Timber Housing Project Sets Itself Apart
A hybrid light-frame wood wall and 3-ply CLT system is helping this 5-story, 88-unit multifamily project differentiate itself as a first of its kind in the heart of the “Biggest Little City in the World.”
From selecting the best tools for the job to minimizing wasted time, energy, and materials, here are a dozen best practice tips to level-up the wood framing on your next project.
Learn more about the design for this exhibition that brings together kids and adults for an immersive exploration of the world of architecture, engineering, construction, and design found in the pages of children’s books—and begins with a portal built from CLT arches.
This course focuses on interior fire-rated walls such as firewalls, fire barriers, and fire partitions in multifamily buildings—covering everything from common detailing methods that meet structural needs to acoustical performance and fire protection requirements.
Dive into specific International Building Code provisions for schools, explore cost-saving opportunities with wood, and examine structural design and framing options alongside examples of wood's application in modern school construction.
