Engineering New Products for Tomorrow’s Market

February 13th, 12:00 – 1:00
Online | $10
Hosted by : Brandon Sullivan  – Concept Lab

Wood is the oldest construction material, and yet incredible innovation is still happening in wood construction, particularly in mass timber buildings. Mass timber has been rapidly growing in popularity over the last few decades, and it is seen as one of the best solutions to reducing embodied carbon in the built environment. Brandon Sullivan from Fast + Epp’s Concept Lab will discuss the research and testing they have been doing to help advance structural engineering, and the new products that are being developed to solve the most persistent challenges in construction.

Advancing Wood Structures is designed for those new to the industry or looking to deepen their understanding of product development in mass timber and structural wood systems. This session will explore key advancements in structural engineering and how new wood-based products are being developed and brought to market. Whether you’re an emerging professional or simply curious about the future of wood construction, this workshop offers insights into the innovations shaping the next generation of mass timber and wood building systems in BC.
