In this episode, we'll dive into the groundbreaking use of mass timber for a significant new project at Morningside University. David & Corey will demystify what mass timber is—explaining how these layered, manufactured wood products offer exceptional strength and stability as a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete and steel. We'll uncover the "why" behind Morningside's decision to embrace this material, discussing how its natural beauty and low-carbon footprint align with creating inspiring, forward-thinking educational environments. We will illuminate how this revolutionary material is not just constructing buildings, but "pioneering better places for us to live and work" and shaping the future of higher education spaces.
