Course Description
When completed in the spring of 2017, the 18-story TallWood House at Brock Commons will be the tallest contemporary mass wood building in the world. An exceptional example of the advantages of timber prefabrication, this project aspires to be the model for a future that includes extraordinarily ordinary mass wood buildings. This presentation will introduce the project, discuss the various design approaches considered and explain the process used to arrive at the final solution. While providing a focused discussion on the structural design and unique engineering challenges, the presenter will also provide an introduction to the fire/life safety approach, construction methods and project coordination.
Learning Objectives
1. Review the structural system in the context of design challenges and how/why the project team arrived at the final solution.
2. Understand the fire design approach for TallWood House.
3. Discuss the methods employed to deliver a highly prefabricated mass timber project and related construction benefits.
4. Review the cost and quality of the final solution, as well as lessons learned.
