<H2>Overview: </H2>
Mass timber construction -- a system where the load-bearing structure of buildings is constructed from engineered wood – is quickly spreading throughout the United States. Michigan’s first mass timber building is under construction on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, with a Fall 2020 anticipated completion. While mass timber presents opportunities for aesthetics, cost savings, and greenhouse gas emissions reductions and storage, the adoption of a new building method also presents challenges. 
The Summit's goal is to accelerate the adoption of mass timber in Michigan by using an on the ground approach and first-hand look at a mass timber building under construction.
