Five years strong! The Mass Timber Construction Podcast celebrates this milestone by exploring the most exciting developments transforming the built environment through sustainable wood technologies. The adaptive reuse revolution continues with London's New Wave House by Thomas McBriden Architects. This thoughtful vertical expansion features a glulam timber pavilion atop an existing industrial building, preserving architectural character while creating nearly 800 square meters of flexible workspace for local businesses. The project exemplifies the craftsmanship-centered approach possible with mass timber, with components manufactured in the contractor's own joinery workshop. Mass timber's versatility shines in specialized applications, notably at Washington School for the Deaf. This groundbreaking facility incorporates DeafSpace principles with CLT elements designed specifically for visual communication needs. Eight-foot-wide corridors allow for sign language conversations while walking, and horseshoe-configured classrooms provide double the standard space per learner, demonstrating how engineered wood can support inclusive, community-focused design. Corporate America continues its timber transformation with Walmart's new Bentonville headquarters emerging as the nation's largest mass timber corporate campus. At 83,380 square meters across four hybrid buildings, it joins Google and other major corporations embracing sustainable construction at scale. Meanwhile, manufacturing capacity grows with Klasnikov's new 100,000 square foot prefabrication facility in British Columbia—itself built from the company's own mass timber products. The academic world advances timber innovation too, with MSU's Sandra Lupien securing a prestigious Fulbright Award to conduct mass timber policy research in Finland during 2025-2026. Her work represents the growing global collaboration driving the future of sustainable construction. Want to contribute to this exciting field?
