Tall Timber Design Seminar & CoStar Building Tour

The 2021 International Building Code (IBC) introduced changes allowing up to 18 stories of mass timber construction, creating new opportunities for tall wood design. This presentation will review the tall wood code provisions, including the three new construction types (IV-A, IV-B, and IV-C), and the technical research and testing that supported their adoption. The session will also cover critical aspects of design and construction unique to tall wood buildings, ranging from sprinkler requirements and shaft wall considerations to fire design for penetrations and acoustics performance.

Following the session, attendees can see mass timber construction firsthand on a site tour of the 200,000-square-foot CoStar Foundry Park South Office Building. Project team members will join to share insights into executing the six-story mixed-use project.

PPE (hard hat, safety vests and safety glasses) is required for the tour and attendees must wear closed-toe shoes. Please bring your own PPE. WoodWorks will have limited loaner sets available on site for those who do not have their own PPE; please indicate this on your registration.
