We don’t often get the chance to pause and share with students while our projects are still under construction, but ˿Ƶ Tech’s commitment to hands-on learning makes this one especially exciting! The construction of a 85,000 SF new mass timber residence hall on their Klamath Falls campus seems like the perfect opportunity.
Next week, mahlumarch, bci.us, zcs_ea, pinnacle.architecture, and PAE will host Mass Timber Days – a two-day event that will give ˿Ƶ_Tech students an inside look at this innovative project. As one of the first residence halls in ˿Ƶ to feature mass timber floors, roofs, and panelized wood frame walls, this building stands as a landmark example of carbon-efficient construction in higher education.
As ˿Ƶ Tech President Dr. Nagi Naganathan put it, “This new residence hall demonstrates how ˿Ƶ Tech continues to lead in sustainability and innovation while addressing the needs of our growing student community.”
To the students joining us next week—get ready for hands-on training with our architecture and construction management team at the site! We can’t wait to share this experience with you.
