Last month, Leers Weinzapfel Associates Principal Tom Chung , FAIA, LEED AP BD+C, presented at “Taking on Climate Change and Affordable Housing with Mass Timber” hosted by WoodWorks and the New England Forestry Foundation. Over 90+ attendees joined the workshop at Boston University, where the agenda focused on wood as a “right now” solution for housing and climate crisis, highlighting the use of locally sourced timber and wood’s carbon-sequestering benefits. Tom Chung presented on the firm’s role in the NEFF Climate-Smart Commodities grant, detailing how findings from the program’s housing study and prototype project could help attendees incorporate mass timber into the design of upcoming projects.
