We’re honored to have played a role in building the Ty Hart Memorial Fitness Center at Stayton High School—a 6,000 sq. ft. facility dedicated to a hometown hero. Designed with a 60-foot clear span rigid frame and Freres Wood Mass Plywood, this project reflects the strength of both material and community. Special thanks to Joe Wolf, the Stayton Booster Club, and our own John Bradford for making it happen.

As the engineering team behind the design of the Freres Wood Plywood warehouse, we Crow Engineering Inc. are proud to see the excitement and recognition this project has generated. With more than 50 years of experience designing timber structures, our goal was to leverage the unique advantages of Mass Plywood to create a highly efficient system—optimized for both material use and constructibility. We believe the system we've developed represents a compelling alternative to traditional concrete tilt-up and steel roof construction for large-scale warehouses and commercial buildings. In fact, we see it becoming the standard solution for these types of structures and beyond. It has been a privilege to collaborate with Freres Wood, CD Redding Construction, and Prime Contracting LLC on this award-winning project. Hunter Wylie John Z.

Crow Engineering as Part of the entire Plywood mill design, designed this ALTEC lathe foundation, usually this equipment is supported over the sub steel platform. However we designed this over a mass concrete foundation and analyzed for vibratory loads. Lathe is the heart of a plywood mill, if Lathe stops for any reason the plant stops. Crow Engineering Inc.

Engineering Excellence Meets Mass Timber Innovation At Crow Engineering, we take pride in helping industry leaders like Freres Wood push the boundaries of what’s possible in mass timber construction. Their project—a stunning three-story, 10,000-square-foot warehouse with offices — is a testament to the strength, sustainability, and design flexibility of Mass Plywood Panels (MPP). Our team worked closely with Freres to engineer the structural design and ensure the seamless integration of MPP, demonstrating how mass timber can create beautiful, efficient, and high-performance buildings. From tackling unique design challenges to optimizing material usage, we helped turn this vision into reality.

Mass Plywood Panels (MPP) + Tilt-Up Construction = A Game Changer At Crow Engineering, we’re always looking for ways to push the boundaries of innovative, efficient, and sustainable construction. That’s why we’re excited about the role Mass Plywood Panels (MPP) are playing in tilt-up construction—a method traditionally dominated by concrete. Freres Wood is proving that MPP can be a faster, lighter, and more sustainable alternative to concrete in tilt-up projects. Unlike concrete panels, MPP panels are prefabricated, making them easier to transport and install, all while significantly reducing carbon emissions and construction time. ✔️ Faster Installation – No need for curing time like concrete ✔️ Lighter Weight – Easier to handle and reduces foundation requirements ✔️ Sustainable & Renewable – Lower embodied carbon than traditional materials ✔️ Versatile Design – Can be engineered for various architectural needs As structural engineering experts, we’re excited to see how MPP tilt-up panels can open new doors for cost-effective, sustainable construction—especially in industrial and commercial applications.
