By pioneering the use of mass timber in tall wood applications, building designers in the Pacific Northwest focused widespread attention on the sustainability and life safety attributes that are now taking wood buildings to greater heights. Policy makers and building officials became involved, and, thanks in large part to efforts in this region, tall wood is now being recognized in building codes across the country. This panel will bring together three distinct viewpoints regarding tall wood buildings: policy, code adoption, and the design community. By discussing tall wood in the context of what’s been done, what’s being done, and what the future may hold, this panel will place a spotlight on mass timber’s tremendous potential to reshape how we think of tall construction.
