In December, at the 2023 Michigan Mass Timber Update, we announced the launch of the Michigan Mass Timber Community of Practice. Hosted by MassTimber@MSU, WoodWorks, and American Wood Council, this quarterly, virtual gathering will enable those who are engaged in mass timber projects and initiatives across Michigan to access technical assistance and peer learning in a supportive and confidential environment.
Who should join? Designers, engineers, developers, building owners, construction managers, installers, code officials, forest products producers, and more—all actively involved in mass timber projects in Michigan.
