NYC Mass Timber Studio Presents Inaugural Cohort

In-Person Tickets are sold out; additional registration is for Zoom attendance only.

Join New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and its partners for the New York City Mass Timber Studio mid-review event, presenting the seven projects that have been awarded in the first phase of the new mass timber innovation program.

Expanding the use of mass timber is a critical component to achieving New York City’s carbon reduction targets, including reducing embodied carbon emissions for new buildings, infrastructure, and major retrofits by 50 percent. As building innovation advances, prefabricated technologies like mass timber offer a nimbler and more integrated way to construct today’s buildings and deconstruct them in the future, with potential to sequester carbon and turn our cities into carbon sinks. Delivering successful mass timber projects requires critical considerations of code compliance, fire safety, and structural integrity to scale in NYC. Operated by NYCEDC and The Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice (MOCEJ), the NYC Mass Timber Studio aims to build capacity across the industry and unlock the full potential impacts of utilizing mass timber in lieu of more carbon intensive construction materials.

The inaugural cohort of projects span building sizes and programs, from community centers to residential and industrial development. Register to learn more from the project teams as they investigate key mass timber focus areas, such as navigating regulatory frameworks within New York City’s Construction Codes, driving innovative project delivery, assessing technical feasibility, designing for community and equity, and advancing sustainability and resiliency, and push their projects to realization.
