Planning For The 2023 International Mass Timber Conference Has Begun
Dear LinkedIn Readers:
One of the great pleasures of producing the International Mass Timber Conference are the multiple road trips our team takes each year to visit key stakeholders and supporters, and some fantastic, new mass timber projects.??
Last week, Arnie, Tom, and I set out from Missoula, Montana, on the beautiful drive drove north to Columbia Falls to visit a few of our longtime colleagues at?SmartLam?—?Charles Gale, Stephen Tolnai, and Jim Griswold. SmartLam's #crosslaminatedtimber panels make up the roof on a new?Glacier Gateway?elementary school currently under construction next door to their manufacturing plant.?
Chris Schlegel of?DCI Engineers?help set up a tour of the school construction site. He and his team joined us and?Swank Enterprises, the general contractor for the project, as we watched the install of the 3-ply Douglas fir CLT panels. And what a beautiful day it was in northwest Montana with golden-hued mass timber glowing brightly against a gorgeous blue sky full of white, puffy clouds and rugged mountains?
We did some digging and here's a list of the other players involved in the project, all of them regular exhibitors and/or participants at the International Mass Timber Conference.
Happy summer to you all, and a joyous and safe Independence Day?weekend?to our U.S. readers.?
