Designed using a hybrid mass timber approach\, the 1\,000+ bed\, 270\,000-square-foot residence hall demonstrates how mass timber and prefabrication can transform large-scale campus projects. In this webinar\, project partners from WMU\, Hanbury\, The Christman Company\, and Britt\, Peters and Associates will share lessons learned from planning and delivering one of Michigan’s most innovative student housing developments. Panelists will discuss how mass timber helped accelerate construction timelines\, reduce embodied carbon\, and create healthier\, biophilic living environments while meeting aggressive budget and schedule goals. Attendees will gain insight into the design-build collaboration\, structural and engineering considerations\, and sustainability outcomes that make this project a replicable model for universities and large residential developments nationwide Key takeaways:  How mass timber and prefabrication enabled accelerated construction and improved project delivery timelinesStrategies for reducing embodied carbon in large-scale residential projects and the role of exposed timber and biophilic design in supporting student wellness and satisfaction. Design considerations for integrating mass timber into student housing while maintaining affordabilityOpportunities for scaling mass timber solutions across higher education and similar building typesThis webinar will be valuable for: Higher education facilities and housing leaders\, architects\, engineers\, construction professionals\, sustainability and campus planning professionals\, developers\, owners exploring mass timber construction\, and anyone interested in learning more about Mass Timber construction in Michigan.  Panelists: Barry A Olson\, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs at Western Michigan University (Owner)Todd Champion\, Senior Project Manager at Christman Co.

Designed using a hybrid mass timber approach\, the 1\,000+ bed\, 270\,000-square-foot residence hall demonstrates how mass timber and prefabrication can transform large-scale campus projects. In this webinar\, project partners from WMU\, Hanbury\, The Christman Company\, and Britt\, Peters and Associates will share lessons learned from planning and delivering one of Michigan’s most innovative student housing developments. Panelists will discuss how mass timber helped accelerate construction timelines\, reduce embodied carbon\, and create healthier\, biophilic living environments while meeting aggressive budget and schedule goals. Attendees will gain insight into the design-build collaboration\, structural and engineering considerations\, and sustainability outcomes that make this project a replicable model for universities and large residential developments nationwide Key takeaways:  How mass timber and prefabrication enabled accelerated construction and improved project delivery timelinesStrategies for reducing embodied carbon in large-scale residential projects and the role of exposed timber and biophilic design in supporting student wellness and satisfaction. Design considerations for integrating mass timber into student housing while maintaining affordabilityOpportunities for scaling mass timber solutions across higher education and similar building typesThis webinar will be valuable for: Higher education facilities and housing leaders\, architects\, engineers\, construction professionals\, sustainability and campus planning professionals\, developers\, owners exploring mass timber construction\, and anyone interested in learning more about Mass Timber construction in Michigan.  Panelists: Barry A Olson\, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs at Western Michigan University (Owner)Todd Champion\, Senior Project Manager at Christman Co.
