Oregon’s forests holds many challenges and offer many solutions. Among them are jobs, affordable housing, and wildfire mitigation. TallWood Design Institute's test home, made with mass plywood panels offers, gives one solution that could address all three. ???? Watch this video showcasing how this design and others like it could shape the future of home construction and the forestry industry. #OregonDesignDucks #TallWoodDesign #MassTimber

The Timberlab groundbreaking did more than just turn dirt. The 190,000 square foot facility will do more than create 75 family-wage jobs in #Oregon's southern Willamette Valley. #Masstimber does something few industries can; it connects us in new and much needed ways. As Thomas Robinson, FAIA so aptly put it, "This is not a project, it's a vision." Enjoy! And congrats again to all involved! Samuel Dicke Christopher Evans Jared M.

The Port of Portland has approved a lease for the Oregon Acoustic Research Laboratory (OARL) at the University of Oregon located at the Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Campus at Terminal 2. Designed by LEVER, the state-of-the-art lab will serve as a research and development anchor for the campus, supporting Oregon’s mass timber industry and addressing housing needs. OARL will focus on acoustic testing for mass timber floor-ceiling assemblies, addressing a gap in current testing facilities. It will provide data needed for code compliance, supporting the expansion of mass timber in residential and commercial construction. The facility will also house the University of Oregon’s Energy Studies in Building Laboratory. The campus is part of a redevelopment effort transforming Terminal 2 into a manufacturing hub. This progress is powered by partnerships and support from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition, and others.

New + exciting progress on the Oregon Acoustics Research Laboratory (OARL) facility being built at the Port of Portland's Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Campus at Terminal 2? Lack of acoustics testing facilities is widely recognized as a barrier to the development of affordable mass timber multi-family assemblies in North America. The OARL will open doors for jurisdictional code approval in the adoption of mass timber products in the residential construction market - while supporting the Oregon mass timber ecosystem??
Exciting news from Terminal 2: The Port of Portland has approved a lease with the University of Oregon to bring the Oregon Acoustic Research Laboratory (OARL) to our Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Campus! This state-of-the-art lab will be the first in the West Coast to test and certify sound-dampening technologies for buildings made from sustainable mass timber—making mass timber homes quieter to live in and easier to build. OARL is just one part of our revitalization of Terminal 2 as an innovation campus, designed to: ??? Address Oregon’s housing shortage by increasing the housing supply ?? Drive innovation with cutting-edge research and development ???? Train the next generation of skilled workers ?? Empower small businesses to scale and succeed This progress is powered by incredible partnerships and support from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition, and many others. Together, we’re building a brighter, more sustainable future for our region. ?? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/giEbsKrh
MODSpdx, in collaboration with Freres Wood, has unveiled a completed housing model crafted from Mass Ply Panels (MPP) - a sustainable, high-quality material revolutionizing modular construction. This approach offers a faster, scalable solution to Oregon's affordable housing crisis. Next stop: John Day, Oregon - where 18 hybrid MPP structures will provide much-needed affordable housing. Supported by USDA Rural Development and the OMTC, this project exemplifies how innovative materials and partnerships can tackle complex challenges. Learn more: ?? Oregon Mass Timber Coalition ??

Today, Kenneth Anderton and I led a tour of Terminal 2, the future site of the Port of Portland's future Mass Timber Housing and Innovation Campus (MTHIC), as part of the Cascadia Innovation Corridor Conference. Our discussions focused on a key theme of the conference: how we can learn from each other to accelerate the production of affordable housing through innovative products that deliver higher quality units more efficiently and cost-effectively. The Port's next major project, MTHIC, aims to do just that—transforming a historic marine terminal into a hub for housing manufacturing innovation, mass timber research, and collaboration across construction, manufacturing, climate-tech, and entrepreneurship, ultimately increasing housing production to address the housing shortage. We were joined by Mark Fretz from the University of Oregon who shared details on the future Acoustic Research and Energy Studies in Buildings laboratories that will be located at MTHIC, as well as their collaborative efforts with Oregon State University at the TallWood Design Institute on the Mass Plywood Panel (MPP) workforce housing prototype. These are just a few of the projects that the Port and its partners at the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition are working on, to expand the mass timber ecosystem and increase affordable housing options. We also visited MODSpdx to hear from Nathan Young and see their MPP modular prototype, showcasing an example of sustainable, factory-built housing solutions. Excited to help drive housing and mass timber innovation in the Pacific Northwest! #PortofPortland #CascadiaInnovationCorridor #MassTimber #HousingInnovation #Sustainability #MTHIC #FutureofHousing #Collaboration #HousingSolutions #PublicPrivatePartnership #AffordableHousing #WorkforceHousing #HousingCrisis #Cascadia
